“The goal is no longer to
craft a learning program but
to move beyond programs
to curate the learning
experience.”
“The most fundamental shift to
make is to think of learning from
the perspective of a user’s daily
experiences and career
aspirations, rather than series of
processes and programs that the
learning function wants to roll out.
