The Community for Learning Leaders
It’s been an exciting year here at Leading Learning. You may recall that we recently reached the 300th episode of the podcast. And last month Tagoras, our parent company, marked 15 years in business, yet another celebratory milestone. If you’ve been listening to the Leading Learning Podcast for a while, you know that we’re big …
In case you haven’t noticed, online learning has become big business – more so, and much more credibly so than back in the mid 90s when I joined my first e-learning start-up.

With the constant flood of new content pouring through the Internet pipes these days, being aware of all of it and sorting it out in meaningful ways as in individual simply isn’t possible. This is why the process of curation is a concept all of us—particularly those of us in the learning business—definitely need to …
“The learning business” is a concept at the heart of our work. Having now written and spoken about it in many places, we thought it would be helpful to pull together some our most essential learning business resources into a single page, representing a sort of informal curriculum. These are materials you can work through …
Lifelong learning is the imperative of our age, and those who lead learning in their fields will lead their fields. That’s the Learning Business Manifesto in short form, and it underpins our thinking in general and has influenced much of our work, including the Learning Business Maturity Model. In today’s world where change happens more …
Have you paid attention to recent podcast statistics? If not, now would be a good time to tune in. We recently published an episode of the Leading Learning podcast titled The Power of Podcasting.
