Mind Tools L&D Podcast
Episode 329 — No budget? No problem!
With inflation high, and high profile redundancies hitting the headlines, L&D is once again under pressure to demonstrate the value it offers and to have an impact in our organisations. So what can you do if your budget is slashed?
This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, David James shares his experiences of managing the L&D team at The Walt Disney Company during the 2008 financial crisis. David is the Chief Learning Officer at 360Learning and host of The Learning & Development Podcast, and joins Ross G and Owen to discuss:
• the impact that recessions and cost savings typically have on L&D
• actions you can take when budgets are tight
• how the lessons of 2008 can be applied today.
