Learning Tech in London
Chris will be hosting two sessions on AI and Skills tech in London at the Learning Technology Conference in February.
Workplace Stories Webinar
Most orgs starting their skills journey often make the mistake of thinking of skills data only in terms of what can be extracted from a skills platform. While that is a good place to start, focussing solely on the data in 1 system tends to provide a one-note view of the workforce’s abilities. Building a multi-dimensional Skills strategy is crucial for success.
So how do you get started, and how are other orgs building a coherent Skills strategy? Join Dani Johnson, Stacia Sherman Garr, Chris Pirie, Todd Tauber & Caitlin Bigsby on Dec 8th to find out!
Thanks to Visier Inc. and Degreed for their support!

Webinar: The Role of Purpose In Supercharging Workplace Learning
What do Accenture, Ben and Jerry’s, and Bank of America have in common? They’ve each made a commitment to place purpose at the heart of everything they do. While the idea of purpose-driven organizations isn’t new, the crises of 2020 accelerated an organizational and leadership shift toward acting with a greater purpose for the good of all stakeholders.

The key to survival is the ability to constantly learn and grow—as individuals, teams, and organizations. This five week online program challenges us to think differently, to learn new approaches, and to re-imagine the power and purpose of learning more broadly. You will study at your own pace along with a virtual cohort of 30 - 50 other leaders over 5 weeks, addressing topics such as; -
- The new L&D,
- Learning From Experience,
- Learning from Each Other,
- Learning by Design,
- and Learning Continuously.
