We’ve been thinking about disruption backward, as something to be avoided rather than embraced. With the unending crises we’ve endured over the past few months, it’s essential to not only survive disruption but to learn how to thrive with it. Disruption creates opportunities for growth so we will look at pragmatic ways to embed disruption deeply into your strategy, leadership, and culture so that you grow exponentially during this uncertain time.

The digital age has created a massive increase in the speed and complexity of business, fundamentally disrupting the workplace. As new technology is integrated, workers at all levels are needing to reskill much faster and navigate more complex systems and processes. The corporate learning function is in a unique position to lead the transformation required in workplace learning, but first, it must transform how it operates. In this session, Brandon discusses how and why the corporate learning organization needs to reorient itself to the digital age and take a more proactive leadership role in driving the business transformation from a performance perspective.
