In this episode of the Ideas Podcast, we sit down with Greg, founder of Two Circle Studio, to explore a bold vision for the future of learning and development. Greg dives into the idea of applying a "product mindset" to L&D, challenging traditional approaches and advocating for a shift towards standardisation, clear requirements, and defining genuine needs before diving into solutions. We also discuss the unique power dynamics of being an external consultant and how adopting a consultant’s perspective can help internal teams ask tougher questions and deliver more impactful results.

If you’ve ever wondered how the L&D industry can evolve to meet the rapidly changing demands of the workplace, this conversation is packed with insights, practical tips, and fresh perspectives. Tune in for thought-provoking discussions and actionable advice, and check the episode notes for resources to help you get started on embracing a product-focused approach to L&D!
