*You do NOT need to read the book to attend. You, your ideas, and your experiences are enough.
What if learning less could actually help us achieve more? Lean Learning: How to Achieve More by Learning Less challenges the traditional “more training, more content, more hours” mindset and instead offers a practical framework for stripping away waste, focusing on what truly matters, and making learning stick. Drawing inspiration from Lean and Agile principles, the book shows how professionals can design smarter learning experiences that drive measurable results without overwhelming learners or organizations.
This book opens a timely conversation about how to create impact in environments of constant change and limited attention. Together, we’ll explore how Lean Learning can help us simplify without sacrificing depth, and reimagine our role as learning leaders who deliver value faster and more effectively. Join us to discuss how to put these principles into practice in your own work.
