Ray Harrison
Ray has worked for over 30 years in a number of senior Learning and Development roles within a number of large Financial Services organisations. He is passionate about people development but gets frustrated when L&D functions measure their effectiveness based on the number of people trained and the score on the ‘happy sheet’. Ray believes that Learning professionals should hold themselves just as accountable as the stakeholders they support for driving the organisational strategy operating as strategic partners rather than simply passive providers of learning content and it is through this belief that he and his teams have built a strong reputation as business enablers.
