Rarely do we get the chance to hear the C-suite side of things when it comes to content and learning design. What do they really think about the training content they see out in the wild? But in this episode, we hear from business transformation expert and former Chief Learning Officer Christopher Lind on adapting your content creation process for the modern working world.Christopher introduces us to what a CLO really is and offers a peek into his main responsibilities. He explains how L&D teams can work with their CLO (or do well without one) and how a CLO defines great content. The AI topic naturally comes up and we look at how it can improve processes or even make things slower if your process isn’t already working. Christopher also shares his tips on using video tools, what makes great content, and how emotion should be at the heart of every piece of content.
