Focus Paris

New technologies and customer priorities mean new product lines, services, business models, and even some surprises. So how can you ensure your people have the skills for today and for what’s next? By continuously re-skilling and up-skilling the workforce. 

Join us for Degreed Focus where we will explore how forward-thinking organizations like Ericsson are addressing key skill gaps by improving access to learning. 

As part of an international book circuit, the former CLO of LinkedIn and Yahoo, Kelly Palmer, will be in Paris on February 19th for Degreed Focus. She will share ideas from The Expertise Economy on how forward-thinking organizations are successfully increasing employee engagement through learning. Many organizations are used to scaling for efficiency and standardization, but there’s more to think about in order to succeed now. The most advanced L&D teams are adjusting their strategy, skill sets and tech stack to create the conditions for continuous learning: diverse, always-on and precision-targeted at business and individual skills gaps. 

After Kelly's speaking session, Peter Sheppard, Ericsson’s Head of Global L&D Ecosystem, will walk through how they are putting workers in control by giving them ownership over the career and learning needs through a new learning ecosystem. 

Join Kelly, Peter and fellow learning leaders for an inspiring morning about learning transformation!

• The opportunity to hear advice and best practices from Ericsson who is midway through a reskilling initiative
• Examples of how innovative L&D professionals are redesigning their toolkits and strategies
