This time John is talking to Laura Overton, an award-winning
international speaker, author and facilitator, with multiple
institutional fellowships. Laura is probably best known for helming
Towards Maturity, the research and benchmarking organization, from
its inception as a Government initiative, through independence and
commercial success before it was bought out by Emerald Group in
2017. Does she think during her time there she really managed to
bring about change in the practice of learning?
