What makes an award-winning learning programme? And why do so many miss the mark?After a decade on the judging panel for the Learning Awards, Jackie Barefield has reviewed hundreds of submissions and knows what separates the best from the rest.

In this episode of Impact's In Good Company podcast, Dan and Jackie talk about what award-winning learning really looks like today and the four things you should think about before embarking on a learning programme. This podcast isn’t just about awards - it's about what actually drives results.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why starting with the business problem matters more than the learning design
  • The shift from engagement metrics to real business impact
  • Why evidence and baseline data are critical for proving success
  • Why “bright and shiny” isn’t enough anymore
