How To Turn Your Big L&D Challenges Into Wins | L&D Disrupt | Episode 65
The organisational impact is in the big, scary L&D challenges you’ve been putting off!
Take skills. We do it manually right now and it means it’s too hard - we can’t map and measure them at the speed or scale required.
So we find an easier challenge to solve, to show we solved it. But to have true impact, we need to take on the hardest challenges.
From using AI to mapping skills, and engaging learners to centralising information, learn how in this conversation with HowNow CEO, Nelson Sivalingam.
