Learning in the 21st Century: A Brave New World

Learning in the 21st Century : A Brave New World

 
A New Way of Learning: Networked, Collaborative and Global
 

Today’s Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) have to deal with more organizational intricacy and change than ever before. They are faced with addressing the demands of rapidly changing business environments, the complexity of skills and capabilities in demand and the globalization of work.

In this new, dynamic environment, CLOs must assess and manage a dispersed workforce spread across boundaries, time zones, countries and geographies. And they must manage employees of different demographic groups, all with different needs and expectations and preferred ways of learning.

So how does today’s CLO come up with the right learning approaches and infrastructure — the right “formula” — for dealing with these variables in the 21st century organization?

Hear what Ted Hoff, IBM’s Chief Learning Officer has to say about helping to answer those questions and how IBM is approaching these important challenges.

Ted discusses how at IBM, we explore the limits of any new approach that allows people to learn from each other as it's clear that virtual worlds help people connect in a dynamic, productive way.
