The goal of L&D is not 'Work faster. Make more stuff.'

Work faster. Make more stuff.

Now you have more stuff. More stuff to maintain, host, update, fix and report on. More meetings.

You have to do that while keeping up your new, faster, work pace. Making more stuff. More stuff for people to wade through, trying to find what they need.

Eventually you need to cull the stuff. First you have to work out what to get rid of and what to keep. Then reduce it. While making more stuff and working faster.

It becomes a cycle that doesn’t need to exist. Doing more with less. Juggling too may things at once. Not having time to think, strp back, learn or be strategic.

L&D isn’t a factory. The goal isn’t to make more stuff. You’re not in the product business. It’s a service, it’s support. It’s help.

Working faster and making more stuff doesn’t help. Not you, not the organisation, and not the people you’re trying to help.

It’s not efficient. It’s just a lot of work.
