This section also includes articles about the skills gap, government policy, and funding for training and skills - like apprenticeships and Train to Gain; and analysis of issues that affect the future and development of L&D thinking.

 Many learning 'technologists' still look down their collective noses at anyone who doesn't use interactive whiteboards, podcasts or digitised content as though it were a crime punishable by death.   He's known for being outspoken

 

 What we actually need are organisations that won't accept anything less than excellence in this field. I can count on the fingers of one hideously mutilated hand those organisations that have driven for higher and better standards.    He has a brilliant turn of phrase

 

 I'm aware that I'm beginning to sound waspish but with some of us taking the art of coaching seriously, it's annoying to have it devalued by people who've attended a weekend course and who've taken it upon themselves to call themselves a coach.   A coach who pulls no punches
