The expectations placed upon leaders during these challenging times are by no means simple.

Transforming and digitising your L&D function
Whenever we think about change, we always think about 3 main things: People, Processes and Technology. Transforming your L&D function should be no exception. Nonetheless the change process we are dealing with is complex and varied, and, in reality, ‘the sky's the limit’ when it comes to digitising your L&D function. You should never be disheartened by its complexity, though. You should start by using an iterative approach and build on it with small ‘baby’ steps. Here are a few considerations around People, Processes and Technology that you may wish to consider when drafting your transformation plan.
Upskilling for a Green Economy
The shift to a green economy is being driven by government policy, climate change, and technologies which, when combined, fuel the consumer market for green products and services. Inevitably, this shift increases the demand for employees to be reskilled or upskilled to meet the needs of the future. According to the UN Environment Programme’s Global Guidance for Education on Green Jobs Report (2021) the transition to a green economy will add an estimated 60 million new jobs to the market by 2030.

The upskilling imperative for financial services firms
CEOs at financial services firms face a dilemma. Because the industry is changing rapidly, they must build the right skills for their organisation to continue to compete in the future. Yet doing so requires making investments that won’t generate a return for several years. In the meantime, they face relentless pressure to hit short-term financial targets.
Preparing for tomorrow, today
While the majority of businesses recognise which capabilities are important for their future success, many are failing to take the actions needed today to build or even introduce them into their organisations. These actions include using data analytics to make workforce decisions and creating a compelling work experience for employees.
