Feel under pressure? You’re not alone. The traditional model of learning and development (L&D) is straining to meet the needs of today’s businesses. They need more than a schedule of courses and a suite of online resources. They need an L&D department with the business savvy and consultative skills to support short-term performance, build long-term capability and provide strategic guidance. Drawing on research and case studies, Donald will describe the steps to take to ensure your own department is ready to meet this challenge.

 

  • Why the L&D department always seems under pressure
  • What the L&D team of the future looks like …
  • … and a plan to help you get there
  • Which L&D roles will be essential, and how to develop them
  • Free resources to help plan your future success

Making personalized, collaborative learning a reality 
Joel Hellermark, CEO & Founder, Sana Labs 
 
Collaboration and personalisation are two trends that dominate contemporary thinking about workplace learning. 
 
Collaborative learning involves synchronous, interactive live sessions with groups of learners, and is powered by social dynamics and community. 
 
Personalization focuses on self-paced instruction that responds to the unique needs of every learner, and is powered and scaled by AI. 
 
Is it possible to combine these two? According to Joel it is. In this session, he will explore what it means to combine these two approaches in entirely new ways—using social dynamics to increase engagement while responding to each learner’s needs to improve learning outcomes. Join us to explore the exciting possibilities of personalized, collaborative learning.
