That should be a scary picture for every learning and performance professional. We’re quickly losing relevance in a world that needs our help but doesn’t have the patience for us to get our act together. Learning and development must change to meet the needs of the modern learner and workplace — but how? In this webinar, JD Dillon from Kaplan Higher and Professional Education will share his organization’s practical approach to evolving what it means to support learning and performance in the modern workplace. Dillon will explore the challenge facing L&D as it attempts to step off the business sidelines to become an essential part of the business ecosystem.
