World-Class Learning at Scale: Join us for the Big Launch

For multiple decades, organizations all over the world have endeavored to create the right experiences for their workers, through processes, policies, tools, technologies, snazzy workspaces, and innovative perks, and for years, the goal post has constantly been moving. The work, the workforce, and the workplace have been evolving; economic, political, and societal changes have been at play; and employees’ expectations have shifted. Every organization, big or small, across industries and geographies, has been on a constant journey of reinvention.?

But one domain has leapfrogged ahead on the reinvention journey: Corporate Learning and Development (L&D). Physical corporate universities that were established through millions of dollars of investment have been replaced with digital academies, online learning systems, and advanced media studios. L&D functions are trying new approaches, adapting to remote work, buying new tools, licensing new content, building skills taxonomies, experimenting with VR and AR programs, and exploring virtual cohort-based learning. L&D professionals are among the hardest working HR functions who are charged with building capabilities across the organization, while building their own capabilities to respond to the numerous challenges brought about by the pandemic, in what is now referred to as a BANI?world (characterized as Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear and Incomprehensible).

Corporate learning, skills, and capabilities are now the #1 topic in business. And yet, when we studied 94 L&D practices across 9 broad areas of learning in over 1000 organizations globally, we found that over 80% of organizations are lagging in almost every area of learning. The domain is changing so fast, that L&D functions are struggling to keep up. We at the Josh Bersin Company, have uncovered the secret sauce for organizations to bridge this gap between importance and effectiveness.

Join us as we reveal best practices and trends in reach, range, and architectures, and a new model for world-class learning and development, at our upcoming Irresistible, The Global Conference for HR Leaders and Their Teams. You cannot miss out!?

At the conference, I will have the privilege to unpack our new model for corporate learning which can crystallize for L&D functions, where they need to focus their priorities to get the impact they’re striving to deliver. Here’s a robust series of sessions we have designed for our attendees.?

1. Designing World-Class L&D: A curtain raiser on findings from the deepest and broadest L&D study ever conducted. In this session, I will also be joined by KimArie Yowell, the CLO of Rocket Central LLC. to present how learning, when done right, can help organizations address supply chain shortages of talent and build a sustainable pipeline of future talent.?
2. Innovations in Learning: We will discuss innovations in learning technology and practices. In this exciting session, Walmart will reveal its approach to leveraging learning to create not just jobs, but lifelong careers for the workforce. Not just that, to multiply the excitement n-times, we will have Accenture present on how their Nth Floor supports learning and collaboration in the metaverse.?
3. Building Better Leaders: Finally, let’s get together to reimagine leadership and how organizations can build leaders who inspire excellence. This working session will help participants operationalize their leadership strategy.?
