L&D Go Beyond
Post-Pandemic Workplace Learning Strategy, with Shantanu Bhattacharya
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of L&D Go Beyond podcast, Amit Garg Founder & CEO of Upside Learning Solutions speaks with Shantanu Bhattacharya, Management Consulting Principal Director, Accenture on Post-Pandemic Workplace Learning Strategy.
With a diverse experience of over 25 years in organizations worldwide, Shantanu has special expertise in eLearning, learning management systems, and technology. According to him, the push towards digitization had started even before the onset of Covid, and the pandemic merely accelerated it. Talking about the 70-20-10 mode of learning, he says that during the pandemic the scope for the 70% learning that happens on the job diminished so rapidly that it led people to realize its importance. Walking up to someone to talk got replaced by having to set up a Zoom call or a meeting on the calendar in Teams, just to talk to someone to get that instant knowledge. Those are the challenges and major shift which was seen in most organizations because of the pandemic.
Here are the key takeaways from this podcast-
- Paradigm shift in the pandemic, accessing and delivering learning within the new structure
- Increasing pace of technology adoption and L&D impact in the organization while upskilling with digitization
- L&D becoming a part of business strategy: A pandemic-driven irreversible trend
- Key elements of workplace learning strategy in the post-pandemic world
- Leveraging data and AI for creating skills ontology by mapping employee skill levels – current & future skills requirement
- Tackling digital learning fatigue with constant innovation in learning experiences
