Globalization has made virtual teams a business necessity. The search for new markets, top talent, and innovation means that teamwork is required across borders, cultures and time zones.  While global teams offer opportunities for collaboration and new solutions, problems created by distance and limited face-to-face contact can be significant. Training can play a critical role in helping global teams work together effectively, leveraging technology and just-in-time online tools that enhance team connections and results.

New technology has drastically changed the way we learn, and employers are incorporating it frequently to more effectively engage their learners and reduce the time and costs of training.  In the coming year, we’ll continue to see companies rapidly adopting new, innovative forms of learning. 

The market is changing fast, and jobs are being reinvented every 3-5 years. The problem is, we can’t go back to school every 3-5 years because it’s time consuming and expensive. Combined with people’s changing workplace expectations, we find ourselves in a new working world with a different set of employee engagement challenges.

As organizations strive to address their clients’ critical business issues, T&D professionals play a vital role in creating and implementing talent development solutions for their organizations. In a recent study by Deloitte LLP, human capital strategy is seen by many CEOs as one of the top priorities for growth, presenting an exciting opportunity for learning professionals.
