Topic: L&D Lessons Learned From China, Singapore, and Korea: Business Continuity During a Time of Disruption
During the last four months, talent development and learning departments across Asia were forced to reorganize their daily operations and adopt new, more agile ways of working to achieve continuity in their operations. Following months of lockdown and a work-from-home mandate, China and other Asian countries are now beginning to slowly relax many of their restrictions. What can we learn from their experiences?
ATD is hosting a 60-minute multisector panel discussion about how to adapt learning during the time of COVID-19 based on insights from the frontlines in Asia. Featuring chief learning officers (CLOs) and directors of training based in China, Korea, and Singapore, this expert panel will draw from their personal experiences of successfully leading their teams through uncertainty as well as share their TD best practices to ensure business continuity.
Wei Wang, senior director of ATD Global at the Association for Talent Development will facilitate this interactive discussion among key experts responsible for delivering successful training and learning solutions during the COVID-19 outbreak in Asia:
David Dhevarajulu, Executive Director, Centre for Healthcare Innovation, Tan Tock Seng Hospital
David Hendrick, Jr., Director, Centre for Healthcare Innovation, People Development (PD), Tan Tock Seng Hospital
Chan Lee, Department of Agricultural and Vocational Education, Seoul National University
Jenny Wu Yan, Director of Human Resources, Kohler K&B (Kitchen & Bath) China
Moderator: Wei Wang, CPTD, Senior Director, ATD Global

While no business can predict the next big disruption, there are ways to plan. Are you searching for strategies to drive business continuity now and in the future? Join our 60-minute webcast on Wednesday, 20 May 2020.
This interactive online panel discussion will go into depth about:

• opportunities and challenges facing talent development during COVID-19
• developing a contingency plan for your TD function
• converting from classroom to virtual learning solutions
