Executive Breakfast

21st Century Learning: 
How new technology changes everything you know about learning


As a learning professional, have you ever asked yourself these questions:

  • What is the most effective way to train people in my organization?
  • What skills or knowledge are the most critical to develop?
  • How do I measure effectiveness?
  • How do I separate the must know from the nice to know?
  • How much time should training take?
  • How do I personalize the training? Does it even matter?            

We know that superior training can be a market differentiator and impact an organization’s bottom line so there is some urgency in finding the answers.

21st century technology advancements have finally given us some answers to these challenges along with some exciting and innovative solutions. We can now leverage brain science, advanced technology and sophisticated metrics to deliver short bursts of personalized training and then measure and act on the results. Reporting on completions is a thing of the past!
