This week we bring you another live episode, recorded with the most marvellous L&D Shakers in London. We were blessed to be welcomed back to where we started, The Dorchester Collection Academy, where we gathered to discuss friction in work and learning for this last episode of the series.

We shared our three key questions with our audience, discussing the shared friction we face. So many themes we have seen over this whole podcast research bubbled up in this opportunity to share ideas and experiences from across the L&D Shakers community.

Be sure to join Michelle for one last time, as she addresses the Learning From The Edges live podcast audience, sharing her findings and further questions sparked by this research project.

Special thanks to Lucie Coudret and all the London L&D Shakers, and of course Beth Aarons and Scott Robson at The Dorchester Collection Academy for providing such an excellent venue for our return visit for another live podcast recording and series finale.

This week we dive into the world of neurodiversity with our guest Mike Bedford. Did you know that 1 in 5 people have some form of neurodiversity?

When we think about neurodiversity in the workplace, are we doing enough to ensure people are included? Mike suggests there is no one size fits all and focusing on building strong relationships that build trust is important. Ask the tough questions to include individual needs. We need to empower people to have the conversations that will help us all to get the best performance possible.

Thanks to Mike for sharing his experiences and thought-provoking insight and practical ideas to encourage inclusion without exception.

Be bold! In this week's conversation with guest Toby Harris from Filtered, we are encouraged to consider the big picture and take a leap, be that in experimenting with AI or considering people and culture. Skills are only possibilities, suggests Toby. Intriguing.

As someone who has been working with artificial intelligence since before it was the buzzword of today, Toby brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, not just about the potential of AI in our industry, but also helps to identify what we need to get right before we attempt to replace our current systems to enhance productivity.

Toby encourages us to prioritise people, processes and systems, inspired by Bruce Schneier https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/01/people_process.html

Toby also mentioned John Seddon's Failure Demand and Value Demand, from Seddon's 1992 book I Want You To Cheat. amazon.co.uk/Want-You-Cheat-Unreasonable-Organisations/dp/095197310X
