People Matters L&D Conference 2020

In the digital transformation journey, having a detailed talent development roadmap will be as critical as having a technology one. Articulating critical skills for recovery, building the base of future digital skills, reimagining training at a scale in a distant world, and bringing on an experimentative mindset is the base to Rev-Up Growth for individuals, Organizations and economies. This Conference will bring our community together to help us reflect and find collective answers to one big question: How do we Rev-Up Growth through capability, through change interventions and through culture in a time of uncertainty, chaos, and disruption? In that exchange, we will charge up clarity, shed light, and uncover a new roadmap to build the foundation of a capability-driven business strategy for growth.

Rev-Up Growth

Join us at People Matters L&D Annual Conference to hear top innovators in Capability Building, Leadership Development, Transformation, and Change & get the chance to learn some Power Skills too! This year’s agenda will wrap around five main pillars of business requirements. We have also intentionally added one component for personal development that will be open to all people leaders in the organization. Have a look on the conference theme here:

Rev-Up Culture

Robustness and resilience are crucial, but what does it mean to be actively Antifragile? Explore how to build an Antifragile structure, one that addresses culture & change at three levels: individuals, teams and organisations.

Rev-Up Leadership

Rebooting for success starts with leadership. Identify, pinpoint and implement new frameworks in action and develop the mindsets required to guide teams and enable a more versatile recovery.

Rev-Up Digital Skills

Unsettled times call for vigorous responses. To best serve the organisation of tomorrow, look to Digital Reskilling on steroids: active reskilling, upskilling and cross-skilling at scale, with ultra-functional learning strategies that put that new knowledge to work and with strong focus on adoption and learner engagement.

Rev-Up Capability

Develop capability building for a Distanced World. In our new context, people must play multiple, rapidly-shifting roles - often remotely from one another. More than ever, we’re witnessing an accelerated need to nurture lifelong learning mindsets and boost digital, analytical and technical skills. How do we tackle this conversion? And how do we manage tech-driven L&D interventions for scale? How do we tie up ROI directly especially in times of immense cost pressure?

Rev-Up Yourself!

Why not take this time to invest in yourself? Develop Power Skills for Leaders in the Virtual World, including Problem Definition & Prioritization, Engagement & Alignment, Virtual Facilitation, From Data to Storytelling, Designing Interventions, Virtual Collaboration Tools and Analytics & Train the Trainer. Rev Up in readiness, level up, get agile and stay that way.
