Fundamental transformations are being fueled by technologies as we speak. The impact of digital and data, global platform economies and the consumerization of services are challenging many traditional organizations with changes at the core of their business. Changing at speed often is hindered by corporate cultures failing to open up to embrace new ideas, avenues and innovations. Cultivating a learning culture to turn employees into “Learnatics” might be a key aspect of that change.
The life sciences leadership community wants to deep dive into this topic. How do companies adapt to the fundamental transformation? Which mindset, skills & practices are crucial? How do you consciously change corporate culture and build 21st century skills? How do you spark the curiosity of your workforce?
Let us shed light on this exciting topic together with our keynote speaker Simon Brown and engage in the discussion. We look forward to your participation!
Simon Brown, Chief Learning Officer, Novartis
