How To Move L&D Into The 21st Century With Clark Quinn

Hello everyone! My name is Ladek and my guest for this episode is Clark Quinn. Clark is the Executive Director of Quinnovation, an independent learning experience design strategy consultancy that assists organizations to “work smarter” by aligning how we think, work, and learn. He’s also the Chief Learning Strategist for Upside Learning Solutions. But for anyone who has been in the learning space for any amount of time, you’ll also know Clark is a celebrated expert that has been applying evidence-based practices from the cognitive and learning sciences about how people think, work, and learn for organizational performance improvement since the 80s.

In this ‘quinnovative’ conversation, Clark and I discuss
