In this brief monologue, Leo Bottary addresses learning and development (L&D) leaders, describing a common scenario where employees attend a valuable training day but, upon returning to their heavy workloads, are unable to apply what they learned. He highlights the scale of corporate L&D investment—over $350 billion globally in the prior year—and questions the effectiveness of that spend when knowledge is quickly lost. Bottary proposes a concrete remedy: establishing internal peer groups that regularly discuss and practice the concepts from training, thereby creating a mechanism to translate learning into action and maximize the return on L&D investment.

Hi, this is Leo Bottari bringing you the What Anyone Can Do Minute. So if you are in charge of learning and development at your company, let me ask you if this scenario seems familiar to you. So let's say, for example, that you have a learning and development day. You've got a workforce where it's maybe smaller than it's ever been, right? Having to do more work more quickly than ever. They go away, they, they get this incredibly valuable learning experience. Only to come back and have to work and just catch up on everything they missed from the day before, only to get sucked into all of their responsibilities going forward. So what happens to that great learning? What happens to all that time and all that investment, which last year globally was north of $350 billion by companies across the world? I can't imagine, you know, a worse spend in many respects. Set up peer groups inside your company where you can get people together and talk about what those valuable concepts were and how to go about implementing them together. Give yourself the mechanism to actually make that investment work for you, and you're gonna see all the difference in the world.
