With a workforce that needs to constantly acquire new skills to stay engaged and relevant, more companies are looking toward new learning tools and models to replace outdated systems.
Bottom Line Impact
Among key challenges facing organizations today is developing and retaining a skilled and engaged workforce. Employee turnover, outdated skills and problem solving approaches cost companies billions of dollars a year – and make it more challenging stay competetive.
In survey of global CEOs, 70% believed their workforce does not have the skills to adapt to technology disruption.
With bottom lines impacted, and a skill shortage in new technology, it is becoming clear that sheer volume of content and classes is not enough to keep employees learning. In a 2017 report on Learning and Development from Deloitte Insights, 70% of global CEOs believe their workforce does not have the skills to adapt to technology disruption -- and they are looking toward new thinking and knowledge delivery methods to break through cycles of intellectual apathy.
From Push to Pull
Single platforms/modes (even Learning Management Systems from a few years ago) are being augmented with ways to deliver valuable learning content exactly when and how employees need it. The imminent need is that employees engage with learning daily, and throughout their entire careers. In order for that work, the employee needs to be in the driver's seat, accessing relevant content on mobile or desktop, or game or podcast or video or AI or VR/AR – when it works most for them.
