Question and Answer
- Knowing what the business needs from the talent pool, building HR and learning to meet those business needs
- Responding to learner demand for learning to be more than just providing knowledge, more experiential, hands-on, practice and role play will help the learner more than just more e-learning
- Staying up to date and working with the new technologies, not staying traditional in our approach to learning
- Move towards more personalised learning, being challenged with how best to serve learning content and still achieve results
- More discussion around what vehicles/systems we use to deliver learning – again a break from more traditional F2F and being more creative with apps and digital/virtual learning
- How learning analytics and AI can support the design and construction of more personalised learning
