    Reimagining Workplace Learning: Mindset, Technology and the Future of Work

    In a fast-changing world, learning isn’t a checkbox; it’s a mindset.    Drawing on their knowledge of Learning and Development, Kasper and Donald explore how professional development has shifted from a top-down process to a self-driven pursuit.

Creating a culture of continuous learning takes time, trust and commitment from both leaders and individuals.    About the authors:  Kasper Spiro has been involved in knowledge sharing, performance support and e-learning for over three decade and independently advises organizations in learning and development.
