A lean DevOps approach to learning & development
summary
Argues that applying lean and DevOps to L&D produces concrete practices rather than platitudes: a learning backlog (kanban) for small-value work-aligned experiments, pastoral managers who coach awareness development, engagement leaders who map personal goals to in-work responsibilities, and monthly learning days plus generous personal budgets (two days a month ≈ 10% time). Cites internal stats (≈1/3 unsure of career goals, ≈1/5 abandon online courses) and a trial learning-culture survey; measurement of business impact remains experimental.
