The presentation discusses a proposed learner transformation framework for positioning an organization's micro-credentials program. The framework is based on pillars of lifelong learning and challenges learners to go beyond conventional thinking in areas like time, norms, place, and space. It also includes specific micro-credential topics like social impact leadership, creativity and innovation. The presentation seeks feedback on how useful the framework is in telling the organization's story and positioning its micro-credentials, and next steps to refine the framework.
