Knowledge Sharing
To be relevant in the future, successful firms will
break down these silos and make talent development
their priority. Trainers will focus solely on learning and
development as they become curators and facilitators
empowered to experiment with new learning tools and
technologies.
Preparing for the Future
The future of learning is data- and learner-driven.
Forward-looking firms will embrace emerging learning
technologies that connect learning to performance
and business strategy. This will enable learning
and development to finally show true ROI for their
learning initiatives. Firms need to take action now to
improve learning effectiveness and service the need for
continuous learning. P2P
