Learning the Quick Way or the Right Way: Building Capability That Lasts With the Core Development Model

Everyone has development needs-personal or professional-and in a world of instant answers, on-demand courses, and endless content, it's never been easier to feel like you're learning. But exposure is not the same as development-and speed can come at the cost of building real capability.

Learning the Quick Way or the Right Way explores the growing gap between information and transformation, and what it really takes to build capability that lasts. At the centre of the book is the CORE development model-a behavioural approach designed to move learning beyond theory and into sustained performance. This is not about consuming more content. It's about ensuring learning actually happens.

Inside, you'll explore how to:

• Move beyond fast, surface-level learning to build real capability

• Navigate challenges like learning across generations, diverse thinking styles, and high-pressure environments

• Support development when it becomes uncomfortable, complex, or slow

• Apply practical strategies to strengthen learning in individuals, teams, and organisations

Perfect for leaders, learning professionals, HR practitioners, and ambitious learners, this book blends research with real-world experience to provide actionable tools, frameworks, and reflection prompts-helping you move beyond quick wins and build something that lasts.
