Head of Learning & Development with Ross Stevenson

In episode 42 of the Surveying the L&D Landscape podcast, I sit down with Ross Stevenson to analyze his role as Head of Learning and Development at a UK-based tech company.

During our conversation, we unpack: 

• How Ross revamped his company’s ineffective one-day onboarding into a hybrid digital/human experience over three months;
• The shift from technical skills to relationship-building, cultural understanding, and navigating diverse business needs when moving from individual contributor to management roles;
• How L&D practitioners must diversify their expertise with complementary skills like marketing, data analytics, and product management, understanding their customers, and proving impact on the bottom line; 
• AND SO MUCH MORE!
