After launch – how do you maintain engagement?

What happens after launch? Too often we think of any change project as finishing at the roll out of the new system or approach to learning. In many ways, though, that is where the real work begins.

In this session, GSK’s Sunder Ramachandran follows on from his popular January session, exploring how to keep people coming back for more.

Efficient blends for behaviour change and impact, without the baggage

Efficient blends for behaviour change and impact, without the baggage

Pure digital self-serve learning solutions are tempting as they are quick and easy to deploy. Translating everything into virtual classrooms is tempting too – a simple conversion from face-to-face delivery, surely?

The second, is the simple truth that when work changes, learning has to change too.
