purpose + vision + long-term value is the power equation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>L&amp;D as the great Trojan horse<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Like other organizations we\u2019ve heard from across our purpose journey, EY also believes L&amp;D has a major purpose contribution to make\u2014and again, that that has to be more than just \u2018training\u2019 or \u2018learning\u2019 as abstract concepts, but as inspiration and a means to find connection with colleagues and the wider organizational purpose: \u201cWe view the role of L&amp;D as having a role in helping people become better performers, colleagues, leaders, better people\u2026 helping people discover and activate their purpose and vision almost immediately makes them better in all of those categories.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose as a vector for inclusion and belonging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A perhaps surprising side effect of formal purpose education: not only does it make you happier in your job, it can also make you a better colleague. \u201cWhen you discover your personal purpose, and you realize that the personal purpose and vision, and you realize that that combination is unique to you, something also happens: you realize that everyone else has a unique, personal purpose and vision and that the diversity of that uniqueness is required to make up a team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: conic-gradient(from 149deg at 57.94% 65.09%, #EBE9FE 32.3deg, #FFF 115deg, #FEEEEE 219.7deg, #EBE9FE 360deg);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px;

Reflecting on a tough year for humanity, Suzanne says that her own constant self-questioning of her purpose and what she\u2019s trying to do for the IDEO global online community of 200,000 graduates has been decisive. IDEO is another one of the growing band of organizations we\u2019ve met during the season who say they are formally purpose-driven companies, with the team all focused on making change in the world in a more human-centered, design-thinking inspired way.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The central role of design thinking<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>IDEO defines this as \u201ca human-centered approach to innovation\u201d that draws from the designer\u2019s toolkit to integrate the needs of people, the possibilities of technology, and the requirements for business success.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How IDEO interprets purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For IDEO, purpose is central to help align people toward what\u2019s next for them, which is why her organization decided to offer a course called\u00a0Power of Purpose\u00a0well before the corona crisis. \u201cWe do teach a lot about purpose, and one of the things that we focus on is the way that purpose has a role in a larger system of change,\u201d she tells RedThread and Learning Is The New Working\u2019s Chris Pirie.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Amplifying potential<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Expanding on that theme, Suzanne shows that if IDEO\u2019s wider purpose is to amplify and unlock the potential of people so that they can solve their own challenges more creatively, IDEO U\u2019s purpose is thus intimately connected to the larger IDEO organization\u2019s purpose.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose and learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Suzanne issues something of a warning about the future of L&amp;D: stop worrying about delivery formats, she urges, and instead look at what really motivates and engages people, which is them getting a chance to define their own purpose. \u201cI do believe that this pandemic is that kind of opportunity, especially in the space of learning and the ways we work,\u201d she suggests. \u201cI think the next wave is going to be about those subtle dynamics of how we work together\u2014making sure that all voices aren\u2019t only heard, but truly integrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means that learning has to be about more than MOOCs and recorded talking heads. What\u2019s needed are ways to deeply engage people, as engagement is the precursor to learning, Suzanne argues. For IDEO that engagement comes through community, which is integrated into IDEO U\u2019s cohort-based offerings and offers change-makers across the world the opportunity to connect with peers and share and provide feedback on each other\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom -colors-inverted is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: linear-gradient(71deg, #3938B2 -1.23%, #F55C3A 129.51%);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 8: <span>Deborah Quazzo<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tManaging Partner, GSV Ventures                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Debora-Quazzo.jpg\"  alt=\"Debora Quazzo headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How Purpose Makes Its Mark in Venture Capital<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/can-even-venture-capitalists-have-purpose-the-answer-will-surprise-you--42017152\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a74cd6\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a74cd6'><p>You may be aware of the\u00a0ASU GSV Summit\u00a0\u2014 an annual event that celebrates innovations and innovators across the global \u201cpre-K to Gray\u201d learning and talent landscape, attracting thousands of attendees from the L&amp;D and investor worlds. The organization behind it is a specialist venture capitalist outfit called\u00a0GSV Ventures, an early-stage fund that works with entrepreneurs in the fast-expanding $7 trillion learning and talent technology ecosystem. One of the key takeaways from this episode is that the folks at GSV don\u2019t see any conflict at all between having a purpose and making money. Indeed, as we hear from Managing Partner, Deborah Quazzo, you must never confuse philanthropy with running an actual company; no matter how great a founder\u2019s purpose is, if there\u2019s no commercial discipline to actually build a company, the conversation never goes forward.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>An investment strategy that embeds purpose<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Education and L&amp;D are hot areas, with COVID accelerating interest in digital learning. While GSV doesn\u2019t label itself as an impact fund per se, the organization strongly believes that if investments don\u2019t demonstrate impact, they won\u2019t be financially successful. This belief is ingrained in the fund\u2019s 5P framework for investment analysis \u2014 people, product, potential, predictability, and yes, purpose. Companies with purpose \u201chave stronger cultures and are going to inherently have stronger outcomes,\u201d says Deborah.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Supporting the frontline team member<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Deborah expects purpose to have more and more impact across American business, driving better outcomes for a whole host of reasons, with generational change being a big factor. The proof point is how many big corporations, from Chipotle to Disney, are making efforts to better support their frontline workers through the current crisis.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Democratizing learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This opens up a big opportunity (and responsibility) for corporate learning. Elevating learning in the corporate setting shows commitment, and also benefits all stakeholders, making L&amp;D an important tool for corporate leaders, e.g. as a furlough benefit. All in all, conclude Chris and the RedThread team, learning is definitely contributing to cultures of purpose that are springing up everywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: conic-gradient(from 149deg at 57.94% 65.09%, #EBE9FE 32.3deg, #FFF 115deg, #FEEEEE 219.7deg, #EBE9FE 360deg);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 7: <span>Celia Berenguer<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChief Learning Officer, Sanofi                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Celia-Berenguer.jpg\"  alt=\"Celia Berenguer headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How Learning Shapes Culture at a Purpose-Driven Organization<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/i-try-to-help-people-grow-and-evolve-in-a-way-that-s-good-for-both-them-and-us-sanofi-empowering-life-and-its-employees--42343361\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a76133\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a76133'><p>This week, the team meets the Chief Learning Officer at multinational pharma giant, Sanofi\u2014another life sciences company whose work is driven by its purpose\u2014\u201cEmpowering Life\u201d\u2014and supported by a commitment to a\u00a0strong learning culture.

We hear how L&amp;D is becoming the source of all the support mechanisms and development tools that can bring that purpose to life for staff. Interestingly, that call from the top is fusing with what Stacia sees as a \u201cbottom-up\u201d commitment to purpose, too.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The shift to a more human corporate university<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A key part of the conversation is the shift Celia had to lead to get Sanofi University off the ground when the 2020 health crisis erupted and triggered a rapid pivot in the company\u2019s launch strategy\u2014and how the originally highly-polished approach had to be replaced by a more authentic, more real, and more human orientation.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Democratizing learning<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We also hear how purpose is seen as a guide to triage what needs to be done versus what the organization might like to do, as well as a lot of very advanced re-thinking on what skills and career development should be looking like right now\u2014a result of the need, as we\u2019ll hear, to democratize and share learning in a time of crisis.<\/p>\n<p>You can tune in to the conversation from any of your favorite podcast apps or subscribe to our newsletter, where we will summarize the key takeaways on\u00a0thought leadership\u00a0for learning leaders, and give you access to exclusive content, transcripts, related links, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom -colors-inverted is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: linear-gradient(71deg, #3938B2 -1.23%, #F55C3A 129.51%);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 6: <span>Clint Kofford<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal Head, Talent Development &amp; The Human Performance Institute, Johnson &amp; Johnson                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Clint-Kofford.jpg\"  alt=\"Clint Kofford Headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>What Purpose Means for the World\u2019s Largest Healthcare Company<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/a-big-organisation-but-one-with-heart-johnson-johnson-the-original-purpose-based-company--42236333\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a7774c\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a7774c'><p>Is\u00a0Johnson &amp; Johnson\u00a0the definition of a company with a purpose? There\u2019s a lot to back up this argument: in 1943, just before it became a publicly traded company, the values meant to guide all its decision-making were spelled out in\u00a0its Credo. Famously, this statement challenges everyone in this $85bn company to put the needs and well-being of the people it serves first. This includes promises to employees like an inclusive work environment where each person is considered as an individual, and managers respect their diversity and dignity and recognize their merit.<\/p>\n<p>In this week\u2019s episode, we unpack these ideas \u2014 as well as Johnson &amp; Johnson\u2019s ongoing claim that the Credo is both a moral compass and \u201ca recipe for business success\u201d \u2014 in a conversation with its Global Head of Talent Development,\u00a0Clint Kofford. Our verdict: the ideas do seem to hold up \u2026 and much can be learned from J&amp;J\u2019s example.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sound mind, sound body?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps unsurprisingly for a healthcare company, purpose has not just an ethical or process face at Johnson &amp; Johnson, but also a physical one: the company believes unleashing employee \u201cspiritual energy\u201d has to happen via developing the body, too, via nutrition and performance support. As a result, Clint tells us, L&amp;D is a lot more than a\u00a0facility with a bunch of classrooms, but all about helping the individual in all aspects of their lives.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Toward wholly-personalized career pathways<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A fascinating aspect of purpose at this 130-year-old company is how much stays the same and how much changes. A recent re-orientation means a new focus on purpose as a talent development factor, with Clint and his team starting a whole company-wide conversation about skillsets and an aim of wholly-personalized career planning.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose: the great gift L&amp;D\u2019s been waiting for?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The takeaway for Dani, Stacia, and Chris from their conversation with Clint is that purpose really could be the glue that holds talent together \u2014 but that internal paradigms may need to shift to make that happen, especially around the status of non-full-time employees. They also conclude that purpose may, in fact, be what every learning professional has been dreaming of all these years: as a way to harness the truly unique talent of an organization to bring out its best.<\/p>\n<p>View Transcript<\/p>\n<p>You can tune in to the conversation from any of your favorite podcast apps or subscribe to our newsletter, where we will summarize the key takeaways on\u00a0thought leadership\u00a0for learning leaders, and give you access to exclusive content, transcripts, related links, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stay connected with purpose<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>\u2013 Subscribe to our newsletter to receive the latest episodes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First nameLast nameEmail*<\/p>\n<ul role=\"alert\">\n<li>Please enter a different email address.

Chris, Dani, and Stacia then summarize some of the main things we\u2019ve learned in this and the previous four \u2018Is Purpose Working?\u2019 episodes, and reflect on some recent news and\u00a0potentially critical audits of purpose, one year on from that famous\u00a0Business Roundtable statement.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose needs to be more than \u2018values on the wall\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dan\u2019s personal purpose journey has gone from working for a major telecommunications company to writing four best-selling books. What\u2019s driven him: an epiphany that there\u2019s a link between personal, role, and organizational purpose \u2014 but that purpose has to be a working, operating behavioral guide or it won\u2019t become truly organic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ethics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Dan tells us a very personal story about why he left an amazing job, which he links to Tim Bray\u2019s very public\u00a0resignation from Amazon: a useful reminder that purpose has a very individual aspect that our talk about organizations can sometimes miss.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The COVID factor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both Dan and\u00a0RedThread\u00a0say purpose is much more a realistic business deliverable post-COVID than it was before. Dan explains how he can show CEOs why there is a direct link between EBITDA and purpose, for example, while Dani and Stacia point to the uptake in much more \u2018human\u2019 conversations between the C-Suite and teams.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose pushback?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, there\u2019s some useful reflection on some of the key themes that are surfacing from the debates with our podcast guests so far. What we think we\u2019re hearing: that purpose is a word we\u2019re seeing more and more in American society, and, for sure, we have to be a little suspicious that it\u2019s a fashion trend \u2014 however, there\u2019s also evidence that it is a solid concept now. There are, however, some methodological flaws in recent purpose enhancements, like those of\u00a0The World Economic Forum\u00a0and\u00a0the Roundtable itself. Bottom line: yes, there\u2019s froth, but that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t real \u2014 and L&amp;D has a positive role to play in embedding purpose in organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom -colors-inverted is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: linear-gradient(71deg, #3938B2 -1.23%, #F55C3A 129.51%);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 4: <span>Rachel Fichter<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal Head of Talent and Leadership S&amp;P Global                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Rachel-Fichter.jpg\"  alt=\"Rachel Fichter Headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Importance of Authenticity for a Purpose-Driven Organization<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/rachel-fichter-s-p-global-and-purpose-you-can-t-just-come-up-with-a-purpose-that-doesn-t-match-who-you-are--41823977\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a7a38c\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a7a38c'><p>If you\u2019re a company seeking information products that inform increasingly important business metrics like your impact on the environment, you might well go to the researchers at S&amp;P Global. That\u2019s not only because its 22,000 staff have the expertise; it\u2019s also because they have an explicit purpose statement: S&amp;P Global\u2019s work needs to accelerate progress in the world by providing intelligence essential for companies, governments and individuals to \u201cmake decisions with conviction.\u201d In this episode, we find out what that looks like from the inside, with the company\u2019s Global Head of Talent and Leadership, Rachel Fichter.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Growing skepticism of \u201ctalent\u201d as a key HR term<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>S&amp;P Global is one of a number of organizations that has started to de-emphasize the term \u2018talent:\u2019 internal conversations suggest it can be dehumanizing and elitist to categorize colleagues this way, stressing skills and knowledge over the person as a whole. We also learn how Fichter and her colleagues think increased use of data is really the only fair way to structure high-potential (HiPo) employee programs.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>From HR to People<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>That\u2019s not the only way HR is getting changed-up at this S&amp;P Global. Across all functions,\u00a0 new projects now adopt agile methodologies, with people coming together in teams for specific purposes. That means that lots of things are different\u2014including a complete reimagining of the performance review process, \u2018Thrive\u2019 (COVID-inspired, but now looking permanent). Also out, too, is talk of HR at all\u2014it\u2019s now about People: the organization even has an identified Head of Culture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where training fits in a context of rapid HR evolution<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rachel explains how S&amp;P has never had a centralized L&amp;D function at her company. But now, a mix of decentralized and centralized work, as well as input from corporate communications, public affairs, and branding has led to a dialog across the whole organization. Its outcomes include new benefits like a six weeks global care leave, but also greater company commitment to training, such as a raise from $5,000 to $20,000 for tuition reimbursement a year, among other measures.<\/p>\n<h3>Dangers<\/h3>\n<p>S&amp;P Global has consciously embraced purpose.

But as the company\u2019s Vice President for Global Learning and Leadership, Jeff Orlando, explains to Dani and Stacia in this next episode of\u00a0<em>Is Purpose Working?<\/em>\u00a0stepping up is what you do if you try and operate every day according to an\u00a0explicit purpose statement\u00a0that \u201cour first and foremost priority is to contribute to human welfare.\u201d So how does having such an explicit purpose shape what you do if you work for a company like this?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A living document<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Medtronic wrote down its mission statement (the Medtronic purpose) back in 1960. But it has kept it as a living document that is constantly returned to, Jeff explains: a kind of organizational constitution. This is reinforced by a conscious sense that all employees are really only ever \u2018stewards\u2019 of the mission. In fact, company decisions are explicitly mapped to the mission\u2019s six central principles, every day\u2014and, intriguingly, we hear how teams \u201cun-stick\u201d problems that aren\u2019t being resolved by mapping them back onto the defining principles.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A role for ritual?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of the most fascinating things about purpose at Medtronic is that the company makes conscious use of symbolism and ritual. Employees don\u2019t just hear about the company\u2019s mission, they get rewarded and recognized for having lived it. Since 1974, a special in-house \u201cmission and medallion ceremony\u201d is held several times a year at facilities all over the world as a reminder of the recognition and responsibility recipients get for helping fulfill the company mission. Dani, Stacia, and Chris find this significant, and wonder if deliberately explicit ways of cementing purpose like this is something other organizations would do well to adopt.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How L&amp;D can help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a CLO, Jeff is convinced Learning and Development (L&amp;D) plays a key part in consolidating purpose. A big takeaway is that L&amp;D might play an important role in creating the space and time for the ceremonies that can anchor purpose work, as well as developing curricula and resources that support the company\u2019s mission. This approach may mitigate the danger that purpose statements become just documents that can be misinterpreted, and instead promote the constant organizational conversation that is needed for purpose to work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mt-custom mb-custom -colors-inverted is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-top: 5px;--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: linear-gradient(71deg, #3938B2 -1.23%, #F55C3A 129.51%);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 2: <span>Aaron Hurst<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor &amp; Founder, Taproot Foundation &amp; Imperative                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Aaron-Hurst.jpg\"  alt=\"Aaron Hurst Headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Connecting Purpose to How We Work as Human Beings<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/we-really-need-to-invest-right-now-in-human-skills-our-purpose-exploration-continues-with-aaron-hurst--41770973\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a7d09f\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a7d09f'><p>In 2014,\u00a0Aaron Hurst\u2019s book,\u00a0<em>The Purpose Economy<\/em>, brought the idea of purpose front and center for business, launching a revolution of sorts in how we think about personal, professional, and organizational purpose. Hurst had previously founded the\u00a0Taproot Foundation, a network he set up to connect social change organizations with business professionals willing to donate time and expertise to build capacity. Hurst is a key figure in the modern purpose story, so this episode\u2019s conversation with Chris Pirie from\u00a0Learning Futures Group\u00a0and Stacia Garr from\u00a0RedThread Research\u00a0is the perfect place to start the season\u2019s journey toward finding out if purpose really is working.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why Hurst founded Taproot \u2014 then moved on<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We first hear about the personal and family journey that is the basis for all Hurst\u2019s work, including what he\u2019s doing with his new peer coaching platform,\u00a0Imperative. We then explore the frustrations that led him to move on from\u00a0<em>pro bono<\/em>\u00a0work: a recognition that people need to feel a purpose in what they do at work; too many are \u201cdriving blind\u201d because they can\u2019t get to one; and that purpose needs to be systematically integrated into the flow of work.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Purpose does not equal supporting social causes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Purpose is set to become what creates value for people as employees and consumers, as well as sparking loyalty to organizations and brands. It is also, we learn, not to be confused with merely supporting good causes \u2014 and actually much more about new insights into human psychology and deep needs we all have. (Think, more autonomy = more sense of purpose.)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does HR need to do?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>All these shifts have big implications for HR and talent management. There certainly is a need for new metrics on how to measure purpose\u2019s success in the workplace (and Hurst has some key messages for leaders, especially not just tracking growth, but also relationships and impact \u2014 as he does for HR and what its opportunity is with purpose).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Will purpose survive the pandemic?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The conversation stress-tests some of Hurst\u2019s ideas against COVID, the gig economy, and other realities: deciding what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not can be tricky right now. Then, we ask the key question of the episode:\u00a0<strong>how does purpose specifically connect to workplace learning?<\/strong>\u00a0This requires a shift in organizational mindsets away from command-and-control thinking and the idea of optimizing human \u201cresources\u201d towards helping people as human beings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The purpose bottom-line for Learning &amp; Development as a practice<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>L&amp;D\u2019s role here could be as a key part of the change management process, we decide \u2014getting organizations into this new mindset. A core concept here: L&amp;D can act as a builder and embracer of a coaching and learning culture that supports continuous employee growth and development. Conclusion: It\u2019s time to retire talk of \u201chard\u201d versus \u201csoft\u201d skills \u2014 and move to teaching\u00a0<em>human<\/em>\u00a0skills instead.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mb-custom is-boxed custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default container flex-m-center\" style='--margin-bottom: 5px;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 100px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-image: conic-gradient(from 149deg at 57.94% 65.09%, #EBE9FE 32.3deg, #FFF 115deg, #FEEEEE 219.7deg, #EBE9FE 360deg);background-color:transparent;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 20px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t                        <h2 class=\"c-heading__title\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEpisode 1: <span> Stacia Garr<\/span>                        <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                        <div class=\"c-heading__sub\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFounder and Principal Analyst, RedThread                        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Stacia-Garr.jpg\"  alt=\"Stacia Garr Headshot\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Is Workplace Learning the Secret to Organizational Purpose?<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"c-block__btn\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php?action=ds_oembed&#038;url=https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/episode\/is-purpose-working-a-special-learning-futures-group-redthread-research-exploration--41549082\"  class=\"c-btn -small -inverted naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"addVideoThumb:false width:640 height:360 colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 padding:0\"rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Listen<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-plus \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-plus\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#popup_6a58b24a7e587\"  class=\"c-btn -small -link naked floatbox has-icon icon-left \"data-fb-options=\"colorTheme:white outerBorderRadius:8 showControlsText:false minWidth:300 minHeight:80 padding:30\"><span class=\"c-btn__txt\">Read the episode summary<\/span><span class=\"c-btn__ico\"><svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"icon icon-lib-icon-arrow3 \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\"><use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow3\"><\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><div style='display: none'><div id='popup_6a58b24a7e587'><p>Hear Chris, Stacia, and Dani reflect on the first conversation and the premise behind their collaboration on the \u2018Is Purpose Working?\u2019 podcast series.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the U.S. Business Roundtable\u00a0declared\u00a0that the point of a company was no longer to maximize shareholder value, but instead to promote an economy that \u201cserves all Americans.\u201d With that announcement, a new word started to become more prominent in business conversation: \u2018purpose.\u2019 The health, economic, and social crises of 2020 then brought the idea about\u00a0<em>why<\/em>\u00a0we work really under the spotlight for employees,\u00a0L&amp;D professionals, and the C-Suite.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say that purpose, as an idea, dropped out of the sky when the Roundtable folks made their announcement; anyone familiar with the\u00a0Taproot Foundation\u2019s work or\u00a0the early days of JC Penney\u00a0knows that the idea that we don\u2019t just work for an organization in exchange for a paycheck runs deep. But what is new is that purpose is no longer simply part of a corporate vision statement or something that sits in the purview of the Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) department. It\u2019s moving out of its traditional silos\u2014and at a rapid rate\u2014with more and more organizational teams taking it very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Questions remain. Is HR the owner of this important work, or not? How exactly does L&amp;D contribute? Are there useful quantifiable metrics yet, or tools to measure it? RedThread Research is working to figure out how much purpose activity in today\u2019s corporations is real, or simply lip-service to the ideal (what they call \u2018purpose-washing\u2019). So far, it has released\u00a0an initial report\u00a0and, more recently,\u00a0a useful infographic of its preliminary findings. And, though its investigations are far from over, some key themes are already emerging:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>89% of leaders think it drives employee satisfaction;<\/li>\n<li>84% of managers see having a clear purpose positively impacting the organization\u2019s ability to transform;<\/li>\n<li>And, that we could\u2014and maybe should\u2014be using corporate learning to align employees to organizational purpose.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The study has also clearly identified that purpose is \u201cHR\u2019s opportunity\u201d during the current crisis and beyond. As leader of the RedThread purpose work,\u00a0Stacia Sherman Garr, puts it in the first episode of this podcast series: \u201cWe did this research in the context of the pandemic and have seen HR and purpose show up a lot more together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But is HR listening? And is it going to use training to seize this opportunity? The connection of corporate learning to the issues of deep employee engagement that purpose has to be about is intriguing.<\/p>\n<p>To advance the conversation, RedThread is embarking on a unique, multi-month podcast collaboration with former Microsoft CLO, Chris Pirie, host of the hugely popular\u00a0<em>Learning Is The New Working<\/em>\u00a0podcast. It promises to be a fascinating, timely, and also genuinely important series of conversations. What the series will look like in practice: a series of interviews, discussions, and\u00a0thought leadership\u00a0experiences around the emerging themes of purpose in connection with the evolution of business in the 2020s and beyond. It\u2019s an important conversation, and one that NovoEd is proud to sponsor.<\/p>\n<p>So, join us over the next few months to hear from Stacia and Dani at RedThread as well as Chris as they explore purpose from different angles\u2014interviewing authors and thinkers in the field, CLOs and CHROs applying it in practice, and other informative subject experts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-block  gt-l mt custom-top-corners cancel-mask l-content-simple-v1\"  >\n\t    <div class=\"m-block__container container\" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t    <div class=\"l-heading text-center text-mobile-left l-heading-v1\">\n\n        \t    <div class=\"c-heading -h2 \" style=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2  class=\"c-heading__title\">Check Out These Other <br><span>NovoEd Podcasts<\/span><\/h2>\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cta   gt-s gb-s mb custom-top-corners cancel-mask  order-default has-shadow container-custom flex-m-left\" style='--l-container-width: 65vw;border-radius: min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px)) min(var(--border-radius-scale, 1) * 30px, var(--max-border-radius, 999px));overflow: hidden;--columns-ratio: 50%;--cta-inline-padding: 25px;--cta-block-padding: 0px;--cta-deco-width: 100px;--cta-box-border-color: #000;--cta-box-border-width: 2px;--cta-form-padding-x: %;--cta-file-icon-offset-x: px;--cta-file-icon-offset-y: px;background-color: #ffffff;' >\n\t\t    <div class=\"m-cta__container flex-left items-center\"\n         style=\"--l-cta-gap-vertical: 20px; --l-cta-gap-horizontal: 100px;\">\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__title text-left \">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/NovoEDTalks_Assets_Update_WebCard_Horizontal-768x476.jpg\"  alt=\"NovoEDTalks Podcast Graphic\" width=\"768\" height=\"476\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"c-heading -h2\" style=\"--title-span-background-color: #ffece5;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__image-deco pos-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"c-image\">\n\t\t<figure class=\"c-image__media c-image__primary\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-image__src lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/novoed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/microphone-1.svg\"  alt=\"microphone icon no border\" width=\"28\" height=\"28\"\/>\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t            <div class=\"c-cta__desc text-left\">\n\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"c-cta__desc-text\" style=\"color:#000000;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Learning is changing and evolving \u2014 fast.
