This podcast captures highlights of the recent webinar on how we can use data and learning to support a more relational way of working.

What happens when we shift focus from performance targets to learning and growth? This session will explore how cultural and structural barriers prevent us from sharing learning openly, and how greater collaboration can help us thrive. We reflect on:

 “What happens when we stop obsessing about performance and focus on learning?”

 “Why keep insights in silos - what’s stopping us from sharing what really matters?”
