Paul W. Morton, Director UK & Nordics, CrossKnowledge
In a world where employees are forced to work in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environment (VUCA), L&D departments face a big challenge to complete their mission. Relying solely on technology and methodology is not enough; there has to be a clear vision behind learning strategies. Together, we will analyse how L&D can best help to create value by:
- Focusing on self-directed learning, i.e. encouraging employees to develop themselves
- Reinforcing a basic knowledge of the corporate world and of management principles
- Developing the digital competencies of their workforce
- Blending the learning environment with the work environment
- Setting up their workforce for success in a VUCA world
