Our next #GuildChat takes place Friday, April 26th at 11am PT / 2pm ET. Our topic for this week’s chat is The Digital Transformation of Learning.

Digital Transformation is quite the buzz today. It has many definitions but generally it’s seen as the effort by mostly large companies to increase efficiencies and get closer to consumers through digital  technologies. What does this effort mean for organizational learning?

L&D is directed by the needs of the organizations it serves and will move as the business moves. As the world of work transforms to greater efficiencies and connections, what will be the role of organizational learning?
