We’re back with a fresh episode of “L&D Frameworks: Applied”, and this one’s full of actionable insights from the brilliant Zoltán László!
In this episode, we dive into the 70:20:10 model developed by Charles Jennings—a framework that’s shaped how Zoltán works as a trusted advisor. He shares how he brought different roles across the organisation together, built a culture of mutual learning, and leveraged the power of managerial support to drive real impact.
What you’ll take away:
Practical ways to apply the 70:20:10 model in your L&D work
Ideas for integrating diverse roles to foster collaboration
Why managers are key to making learning stick
Thank you, Joost Brouwer, for bringing another episode!
