"A lot of the ideas that I came into contact with, when you give them a bit of a nudge, they fall over." William McKee.
The quote is increasingly relevant as awareness grows that not all models measures and ideas in the world of people and organisation development are reliable. Many have little or no real evidence to support them.
In this podcast, we welcome William McKee. William is an exceptional individual who challenges the status quo of the people and organisation development industry by advocating strongly for an evidence-based approach to any tools and assessments used to support the growth of organisations, especially individuals.
William McKee is a civil engineer who attended a development course for his own benefit. As a result, got enthusiastic about the wide range of possibilities that the human performance industry can provide.
William's engineering background makes him question each concept and tool used to help people grow and prosper - how valid and reliable are they?
It is crucial to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the tools and assessments used to support the work of coaches, trainers and managers if they are to make a real difference.
In William's own words, he is not so keen on all "the pseudoscience and daft ideas permeating the worlds of L&D, OD and HR and people developments".
This session is split into two discussions, each exploring the importance of an evidence-based approach wherever we develop individuals.
Listen and learn from William McKee.
