The pace of workplace change is downright ridiculous! Employees must contend with a never-ending stream of new processes, regulations, products and technologies. Meanwhile, companies struggle to close critical skill gaps that put their future growth at risk. On top of all that, tight budgets require teams to get more done with less resources. 

How can we possibly keep up?!?! New technology is exciting, but it’s not the answer. Great content is vital, but it’s not the answer. Every successful workplace transformation begins in the same place: mindset. Join JD Dillon – CLO of Axonify and Founder of LearnGeek – for a deep dive into the modern learning mindset. JD will explain what it takes for L&D to escape the course mentality, influence stakeholders to embrace new ideas and architect a workplace learning experience that fosters agility and drives results. 

An organization can only transform as fast as its people can learn. Let’s kickstart your L&D evolution and make sure people get the help they need to do their best work today while building the skills they’ll need to be successful tomorrow. 

In this session, we will:

  • Define the role L&D must play to build disruption-ready organizations
  • Adopt a continuous approach to learning that fits within the everyday workflow
  • Influence stakeholders to recognize the value of L&D in the modern workplace

This virtual session will include a blend of presentation, storytelling, chat interaction and open question/answer.
