LDA Meet the Author

The Learning Development Accelerator (LDA) is a professional community and learning network for people working in learning and development (L&D). Its purpose is to help practitioners improve their work by connecting research, evidence, and real-world practice.

Meet the Author: JD Dillon
Wednesday, June 24 @ 11am ET

Clark and the LDA team are excited to host a special Meet the Author session this summer with JD Dillon. This conversation will be especially unique because we will explore not one, but two of JD’s books: “The Modern Learning Ecosystem – A New L&D Mindset for the Ever-Changing Workplace” and his upcoming release, “The Frontline Enablement Playbook – Equip Your Deskless Workforce to Power Organizational Performance.”

In this session, JD will discuss the ideas behind both books and what they mean for today’s learning and development professionals. The Modern Learning Ecosystem offers a practical guide for designing learning and performance ecosystems that align with business needs and reflect the realities of the modern workplace. The Frontline Enablement Playbook focuses on how to equip deskless and frontline workers with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to perform consistently in fast-moving operational environments.

What connects both books is JD’s highly practical approach. Grounded in real-world examples and case studies, his work helps L&D practitioners move beyond theory and think more strategically about performance, enablement, and workplace learning.

Whether you are already familiar with JD’s work or simply curious about the future of learning in organizations, this will be a valuable opportunity to hear directly from the author, explore key ideas from both books, and reflect on how they apply to your own practice.
