The pandemic has changed the way we live and learn. Only 5 percent of the companies surveyed think that their learning strategy will go back to what it was pre-pandemic. This has created an opportunity for companies to create an agile learning mix. This mix connects individual pupils, experts, employees, and L&D teams. It fosters learning as you go, creating an educational culture and putting learners in the driving seat. The nature of supporting learning must also be shifted. Learning must be looked at for today’s results, for future success, and for yourself.
