QUOTES
Bryan Chapman, Chief Learning Strategist at Chapman Alliance, LLC
“The goal of this series is to help people make sense of the current learning and knowledge-sharing landscape directly from their peers on varying approaches and best practices for managing an environment that facilitates learning and the exchange of information. Viewers can expect to hear insightful and revealing conversations that provide guidance and reference points for their own initiatives.”
Jeff Whitney, Vice President of Marketing, OutStart
“For organizations to continuously adapt to rapidly changing products, services, customer needs and the like, their people must constantly learn through a variety of methods including formal learning, social collaboration, and via mobile connections when computers or networks aren’t readily available. The Always Learning Webinar series is a venue for leading practitioners to converse on the relevant topics in a fast-paced 30 minute, PowerPoint-light format.”
