10:00 AM – 11:00 AM

Learning systems are living dynamic networks subject to external forces, internal pressures and evolution. In this session, we’ll step out of the trenches of our own terminology to take a multi-disciplinary look at the bigger picture for managing change, making decisions and responding to external forces. We’ll then apply these lessons to our current state of accelerated change and uncertainty in the learning sphere.

During this session, you’ll learn a framework for examining the strength of your learning strategy against:

• Changes to the broader learning ecosystem.
• Changes in competition.
• Changes in approaches to Insourcing/outsourcing.
• Changes in the broader business environment.
