Another year has flown by, and once again I’m pleasantly surprised by the number of articles I managed to post in-between the trials and tribulations of life.

In December I like to review each one with a view to identifying a common theme. This time around, I’ve noticed that I – perhaps more directly than usual – presented my ideas in the form of proposals.

As to their decency, I’ll let you be the judge…

• In Not our job I proposed we Learning & Development professionals defend our remit.
   
• In The right stuff I proposed we recruit an evaluation specialist.
   
• In Approaching perfection I proposed we drop the arbitrary pass mark.
   
• In I don’t know I proposed we normalise a new answer option.
   
• In Supercharge your digital training I proposed three ways to transform online delivery.
   
• In Game changer I proposed we try eDNA before we resurrect the Tasmanian Tiger.
   
• In The duality of Agile I proposed we think of small “a” agile as an adjective and big “A” Agile as a noun.
   
• In Tree climbers I proposed we focus on authentic assessment.

By the way, thank you everyone who reached out to me to express your appreciation of my annual compilation of L&D conferences in Australia. You’ve given me the reason I needed to continue doing it, so stay tuned for January.

In the meantime, I wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a bonza start to the new year!
