#ModernLearner

Organizations spend billions of dollars each year on learning content. Yet a noticeable lack of
participation, engagement, and satisfaction exists in corporate training offerings these days, largely
because our businesses – and our learners – have all changed faster than many learning and
development (L&D) organizations have kept up.
It is time for change. It is time to start fundamentally rethinking how organizations invest in, manage,
deliver, and use content. The stakes are significant. What and how people learn has a substantial impact
on both individual performance and organizational capabilities—but it will not be an easy fix. Adopting new
approaches to learning will force L&D departments to operate in new, different, and sometimes
uncomfortable ways.
In this webinar, David Mallon, Head of Research for Bersin by Deloitte, Deloitte Consulting LLP, will
summarize the latest research on how forward-looking organizations are adapting their approaches to
development in order to better meet the needs of modern learners. David will be joined by Carol Leaman,
President & CEO, Axonify, who will share real-world examples of these trends and practical advice for
other organizations facing similar challenges.
Topics to include:
- The drivers of new approaches to learning;
- Trends in using new learning technologies to address performance wherever and whenever; and
- Practical guidance and examples of adaptive learning offerings meeting unique and changing needs.
