Why We Are Asking
When we started this blog to explore how we might bring the best practices of leading startups in the areas of customer, product, operating principle and team into a Learning & Development organization we had an assumption. Our assumption, based on a multitude of discussions with practitioners, industry stakeholders and business executives was that the need to innovate how we were running L&D was existent and of rapidly growing importance.
With this proof point, we began our journey looking at a range of dimensions where we could apply aspects of startups. From leadership to a new visual business model we researched, discussed and wrote our thoughts down submitting them to the readers of this blog as well as using these “beta” concepts in discussions to further refine them. We continue to apply this product development approach to our book. What the Lean Startup methodology calls the build, measure, learn cycle.
We believe strongly that the need to innovate across all the dimensions of L&D organizations exists. We also recognize that the priorities for our product have to be our customers’ priorities. Our customers are the L&D practitioners and business executives. Since startups are all about data so are we.
We thank you in advance for your time and look forward to sharing the results of this build-measure-learn cycle with you in future posts. If you are interested in a printout of the self assessment you can download the PDF Self Assessment here.
