Many L&D programs build skills but fail to shift performance. Matthew Richter joins IDIODC to explore why that gap exists and what to do about it.
He breaks performance down into five factors and shows exactly where L&D can and cannot influence each one. That distinction matters. It changes how you diagnose problems, how you scope solutions, and how you talk to business leaders about what learning can realistically deliver. You will leave with a sharper lens for targeting your budget, a cleaner argument for stakeholders, and a practical framework for choosing interventions that move real business outcomes.
