How the Best Companies Find and Leverage Talent to Thrive in the Digital Era
During these unprecedented times, dualities mark the extraordinary situation we find ourselves in. For example, let’s talk about how business decision-makers, have long leveraged the gig advantage. They've come to accept that at any given time, 10 percent of the workforce will choose to work remotely. The remaining 90 percent, for the most part, follow the 9-to-5 in-office routine. COVID-19 just turned that on its head. Today, 90 percent of almost any workforce is forced into social distancing. It must work not just remotely distributed like the gig worker but also find ways to manage their inter-dependencies. The workplace must now quickly evolve to enable people to stay connected with digital collaboration tools, build new skills around new ways of working, and to embrace a digital culture. The distributed and dependent paradox can only work in an environment of trust, and we must transform our workplaces for this future. The paradigm will change in so many ways. Let’s find out how.

The outbreak of the coronavirus has seen a surge in companies with suggesting or mandating employees work from home. Are employees and their managers prepared for this? Have companies created training for employees and managers on successful remote work form home strategies? What are these and what should your company do?

Stacy and Jeanne will discuss the importance of building a culture that supports remote working, the communications and collaboration technologies and resources that make remote working successful for both managers and employees, and how remote working is becoming not just a “perk” or “requirement for health reasons” but an integral part of one’s lifestyle.

Leveraging Virtual Reality Training at Verizon Stores
Using virtual reality (VR) is becoming more of a reality for enterprise training purposes. While sometimes these two technologies are often referred to as one, there is a difference between them. While virtual reality creates a totally immersive simulation, augmented reality augments the user experience across multiple sensory modalities like visual or auditory to create a new employee experience. Learn from the team at Verizon on how VR is being used to train retail store personnel and how Verizon is exploring using VR beyond store training to soft skills training. The Verizon Corporate Learning team will share a demo and we have start a discussion on how these technologies are being used across multiple industries and use cases.

Experiential VR for Immersive Learning: Leadership, Sales, Service, HR
Across industries and functions, soft or human skills are a clear differentiator in individual and team performance. They are both rare and valuable because they generally require real experience (mistakes, failure and reflection) to master. How would it transform your organization if your learners could practice high-stakes interpersonal skills in a safe and effective fashion? Powered by a blend of AI and live human interaction, experiential VR has become the ideal way to gain these essential skills and see rapid gains in leadership, communication, and empathy. It combines true human intelligence augmented by AI in order to unlock empathic potential in your workforce and ensure organizational readiness to perform.

Together we will explore:
  • The learning science behind human-in-the-loop VR 
  • How organizations are leveraging VR in areas like leadership development, customer service, and sales enablement
  • Quantifying success of human skills learning and connecting it to business impact

Learn how adaptive technology tackles these challenges by providing a personalized adaptive learning experience for every employee. Discuss the science and methodology behind adaptive learning and discover the benefits of granular data. In this session, Dan will explore how various industries are leveraging analytics, from cohort trends down to individual learning objectives, to optimize their L&D success.
