Listen "{Special Episode} Insights from the Global Sentiment Survey: What's Happening at the Intersection of Learning & Technology with Donald H Taylor"
Episode Synopsis
Are we leveraging technology to its fullest potential when it comes to the learning and development of employees?
This week I'm releasing a special episode with Donald H. Taylor, Lead Researcher for the Global Sentiment Survey, in preparation for the release of the report.
In our conversation, we not only explore some of the key insights that come from the report but what they mean. As you can imagine, artificial intelligence plays a dominating role but perhaps not how you'd expect.
We discuss the rapidly evolving role of AI as well as what it means for employees and emerging professionals alike, connecting the changes we're seeing today to historical transformations like electricity and the smartphone. At a time when it feels like everything is changing, this may help calm the nerves of folks feeling justifiably overwhelmed.
Furthermore, we get into some of the challenges that lay ahead and what we can do to mitigate the risks associated with those challenges. Making these shifts will not only serve as a benefit to those looking to leverage technology but will also serve as a guiding light to staying relevant and valuable in an organization.
If you're curious how to navigate the rapidly changing of learning and technology, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
