My session from Learning Technologies 2026 is now available for all: m.youtube.com/watch?v=KMaM...

Currently available for contract work to help L&D teams with their data problems 🙂 If you have a data/measurement problem… lets chat!

I'm speaking at the Learning Technologies 2026 Conference | 29-30 April | Excel London. Join me there! invt.io/1bxbwnw2x9h

If an L&D team doesn't demonstrate it's value in 2026, It's unlikely to exist in 2027. Our tool is the only one which demonstrates your value, simply. If your L&D leader is talking about impact, put them in touch with us. (Yes, we are talking about IMPACT.. not completion metrics) #GROWTHModel

Given the state of the world, I suggest the army should post PT instructors in parks at the weekend for free fitness training There’d be no harm in it

The world’s first Learning Measurement System is now live. Measures Behaviour change? ✔️ Measures Learner experience? ✔️ Measures KPIs? ✔️ Cross-references all of the above to uncover correlations and shares optimisation recommendations? ✔️ Shows all your programs side by side ✔️ www.gallusinsight.com

A new, simple, way to understand L&D ROI

Me talking about sources of useful L&D data (it is not on your LMS/LXP) m.youtube.com/watch?v=DhRb... (Apologies for the fruity language)

I have some capacity this side of Christmas and early Jan if anyone wants to talk measurement🙂

How do we measure learning impact…

Most L&D teams still can’t prove ROI. Not because the impact isn’t real, but because tools are poor That changes now. We’re inviting a small number of forward-thinking L&D and HR leaders to join a private pre-release access group before general launch. Message me directly to get on the list

Learning and development teams in corporate no longer need to be quietly ashamed Pass that shame onto your suppliers and ask if adopting GROWTH Model is on their roadmap.

If your L&D provider isn’t helping you prove ROI… why are they still your L&D provider?

Someone in L&D actually showed ROI

How are we measuring L&D ROI? #edtech #learning #roi

L&D now has a new measurement model and tools to demonstrate ROI The GROWTH Model®️ Fantastic news!

Call for help Does anyone in my network know who is responsible for product development at KPMG, Bain & Company, Deloitte, McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), EY, or PwC Or can make an introduction? #edtech #growthmodel

Had a great chat this morning with a HR Leader who had a fantastic idea to change the way big orgs recruit, they asked whether such an idea was even possible. 8 hours later, we have a fully functioning MVP with integrated AI and super secure data storage, it is…. awesome What a time to be alive.

Have cracked the model for measuring the impact of learning (the golden goose of L&D) Trademark pending for the ‘GROWTH Model’, not only fit for today, but for an AI driven future. Goodbye Kirkpatrick!

Saddened that it is very unlikely I will get to taste pangolin Born too late 😕

Evening before a conference when you are sitting in a hotel foyer and you overhear people talking about upskilling, but no one has their lanyard yet so the dilemma of saying ‘hello!’ Or waiting until after first day of conference when everyone is wearing their lanyards 🙂 #ltuk25 #travelodgelife

When was the last time you took a pause to think about you, what you’re doing and what you need? In this session I’m sharing an approach to help you explore the context of your work, consider where you’re at today, and map out where you need to go next. #LT25uk

With Poland bringing in military training for all adult males and a good chance of similar activity happening in he UK in the next three years, I have become acutely aware of how utterly unfit I am. I don’t want to run 5 miles with a backpack 😢

Well, that was a week. Thank goodness it’s Friday

In an interesting twist on the @nhsfife and Dr Upton tribunal case in Scotland, it turns out that human rights also apply to women. Who knew (not the DEI team it seems) 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.equalityhumanrights.com/media-centre...

Ouch. Interesting to see catch-up viewing figures, but looks like people are moving on…

It’s interesting to see Ukraine, Russia, and Trump trending, But not the obvious word Kompromat 🤷🏻‍♂️

NHS Fife may have found their Scapegoat in the recent Employment Tribunal The decision to allow Dr Upton to use the Female space was made by a ‘DEI Lead’ with no background in HR, or Law, or a relevant field of study, nor any role specific training. A likely costly mistake, but a great case study

This weeks work joy “Could you bring a bit less of yourself to work” Sigh… probably not 🤷🏻‍♂️

Loving the new gadget that takes my waste food and turns it into fresh eggs, and it was only £15! I recommend that everyone should have a hen or two.

Who else is going to #lt25uk?

Had fun chatting with Ashley Hinchcliffe from MAAS Marketing 🍍 about using data in L&D If L&D teams aren't thinking like Marketeers in 2025.. I worry for them 😬

Note to self: When presenting at conferences, do not do a Nazi style salute. Always wave the hand!

Perhaps it will cheer up someone’s Saturday: youtu.be/H-XSWxPt70U?...

Boomerang employees are your secret weapon. When we source *good* boomerang candidates, they almost always interview first. As an employer, they gain outside perspective and come back stronger. As a candidate, exhibit A why you shouldn’t burn bridges.

Retirement is far too far away

Had a dream last night that I was at a dinner party, one of the dishes was cous cous ravioli Ravioli filled with cous cous I’ve googled it, it’s not yet a thing, but it was delicious.

The lesson I am taking from the footage from the LA fires… build your house out of chimney Street after street of only chimneys left standing.

This January is proving a particularly tough one to find motivation 🙈 Anyone else?
