PANEL DISCUSSION

L&D in the Age of Disruption

8-Mar-2018 10:35 - 11:30

Moderator: William Dávila, Executive Director of Corporate Relations
  In today’s complex, fast-paced, competitive, and changing environment, the main challenge for L&D functions in organisations is how to help managers build new leadership capabilities to navigate successfully through new and turbulent scenarios. In a world where business models that have proven to be very profitable are being questioned by newcomers with very different value propositions, where solid and established companies are being disrupted by newborn start-ups, where building hybrid experiences for customers by providing the right mix of physical and digital solutions seems to be the holy grail for success in most industries, many corporations find themselves with experienced executives who have developed their careers in the scenarios of the past. Therefore, their experience and knowledge may not be that useful anymore and companies need to move quickly to build new capabilities for the future.     L&D must be the tool to bridge this gap by empowering managers to reach new levels of success in the digital era.
