keynote - learning does have a second life
DESCRIPTION
Keynote Session at SALT Interactive Learning Technologies Conference. Grant Ricketts, Tripos Software CEO and Co-founder speaks to the importance for HR, Learning and Talent leaders to embrace sustainability in driving employee engagement, aligning initiatives and leading corporate change. Talk opens with the question,"Have you ever thought about what organizations do when faced with the challenge “learn or die”? To set the premise, openning draws an analogy from the book, “Military Misfortunes” whose main thesis is that military disasters rarely stem from incompetent individuals, but from a systemic failure to learn, anticipate and adapt. The talk continues by applying these notions – how organizations learn, anticipate, and adapt in light of emerging threats in times of other paradigm shifts witnessed by the author, such as the shift from an "industrial-based" economy to a "knowledge-based" economy (the author's experience in the late 1990's and 2000's), and the emerging threats of global warming and climate change today. Tools, information and technology will always be available. It's a matter of whether organizations can learn, assimilate, and adapt new capabilities that will determine whether they learn or die. Many thanks shared with Christian Linares who provided art direction to the author's concepts.TRANSCRIPT
