The Book: Making Learning Stick
Training and development has never been more important for organisations. As the rate of change accelerates, so does the need to upskill employees.
Over the last few decades, scientists have done the hard work of identifying the key factors that contribute to successful learning. In this book, the science of learning is broken down into 160 bite-sized takeaways.
Each takeaway outlines one key idea from the scientific literature in simple-to-understand language. Find out what science has to say about the best way to design and deliver effective training and development initiatives.

I have sat in countless conferences, workshops, and seminars over the years, consuming countless hours of content. Most of the time, the facilitator or speaker came well prepared and gave it their all. And yet, the vast majority of content I have consumed has slipped slowly into some inaccessible recess of my mind, alongside most of the names of people I’ve met at conferences.
