The convergence of the economic environment and corporate talent challenges has led to the need for highly flexible corporate learning strategies. Can we provide a learning environment that accelerates development within the organization through leveraging expertise outside its boundaries? We will share our work in blending asynchronous content, live events, personal learning curricula and value-added social networking to provide a comprehensive and sustainable learning environment.
