Keeping Up with Change: Design for Mentors, Not Modules

Keeping Up with Change: Design for Mentors, Not Modules - L&D as plumbing, not the fountain—make knowledge flow between people. When the job changes weekly, the old idea of L&D as the “fountain of knowledge” breaks down. In this conversation, Chris Perriton (Head of Learning Pathways) explores how organisations can centre mentors and buddies to keep pace with operational reality. We’ll discuss shifting from expert‑broadcast to peer‑powered learning, making capability visible and social rather than hidden inside content libraries. Expect a candid, people‑first dialogue on culture, governance, and manager enablement—with pragmatic insights for a high‑churn transient workforce.
