Even learning professionals need the approval of their managers and bosses. Elliott Masie has published a “Letter to Your Boss” for potential participants at Learning 2016, a global meeting to be held from October 23 to 26 in Orlando, Florida.
Here are some of the items in Elliott’s "Letter To Your Boss!”:
"The world of workplace learning is changing, evolving, and being disrupted. We are seeing shifts in employee expectations and evolving technologies, and a sharpening focus on business requirements for skills, compliance, and employee development."
"Learning 2016 is a unique opportunity for your learning professionals to be learners themselves and explore shifting industry trends with over 1,600 colleagues from around the world. Anderson Cooper (Anchor, CNN's Anderson Cooper 360°), Astronaut Scott Kelly, Twitter CLO Melissa Daimler, Sanjay Sarma (MIT Digital Learning), and George Takei (Actor and Storyteller) are just a few of the over 16 Keynoters, who will interactively explore the innovation, disruption, and changes in learning approaches."
"There are over 205 small-group learning activities, sessions, and labs that involve benchmarking with major corporations and government agencies on their changing approaches to learning and workforce development. We will collectively build some prototype "Learning Apps", engage in a Learning Barracuda Bowl (our own “Shark Tank”), engage with our 30 Under 30 Rising Learning Leaders, and hear from over 12 Chief Learning Officers on their challenges, hopes, and shifts."
