I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book states upfront there are two ways to read it, and I find that was a helpful feature- you can give this a quick read for new skills and comprehension or a lengthier read for an in depth review with case studies. This is about realigning learning and development programs with business needs in a post-COVID workplace, and focusing on how to update the existing model into a different environment. Being part of the company and active in the business interests plays a major theme in this book; that to effectively create the best program for the company, you need to actively participate in the different groups you serve- and make the learning applicable. If it’s by speaking with them, or learning different parts of the business, or just understanding the overall goals and experiences of the departments, the knowledge affects how they will make use of the tools you can provide.

Really enjoyed this book, I utilised some of the advice myself and used some of the advice to help my students move through demotivated phases.

This book has some good practical tips for the workplace. I liked how the author tried to pull off a shorter read and longer read but I don’t think that format worked well for me. It seemed to make the chapters somewhat choppy.

Thanks to Kogan Pg Lmtd and NetGalley for a copy to honestly review.

Although related principally to the Business world nevertheless I found there were elements to this publication which I found useful for teaching adults in the FE setting.

The format that this book came in when I downloaded was not the best. The text and spacing was messed up so much that it made it hard for me to follow. From what I did read about the book, there is some great, practical information that HR leaders can use and implement in their organization. I particularly enjoyed this as I've been wanting to get into the L&D part of HR so it's great book for me as I consider making this move.
