Driving Performance through Learning

Improve measurable performance by embedding continuous learning directly into everyday work.

Driving Performance Through Learning is a practical guide for mid-level L&D managers, HR leaders and people managers who need to align workplace learning with real business goals in a hybrid, AI-enabled world. It shows you how to move beyond courses and events to build continuous, in-the-flow learning that improves capability and organizational performance.

Drawing on evidence-informed models, downloadable toolkits and real-world examples from organizations including McDonald's and Lloyds Banking Group, this second edition adds new chapters on skills-based learning and reflective practice, plus an "AI in Practice" feature in every chapter that shows how artificial intelligence is reshaping design, delivery and measurement. Written by Andy Lancaster, it gives you the language, frameworks and confidence to prove impact and influence stakeholders.
