Episode 436 – Content libraries: Less is more
Most organizations offer some kind of content library to help their people develop. But how much content is too much? How do you give your people choice, without overloading them?
In this week’s episode, Ross Garner and Ross Dickie are joined by Rosemary Hoskins (formerly of AstraZeneca), to discuss:
- Does it matter if people like the content we provide?
- Why are extensive content libraries a problem (as well as a solution) for organizations?
- What mechanisms help people find the right content, at the right time?
