Focus Toronto
Driving Business Performance: Upskill. Reskill. Repeat
Keeping people’s skills in sync with fast-changing markets is the biggest challenge of our time. And the data says there’s room for improvement. 56% of current workforce skill sets do not match the changes in their company’s strategy, goals, markets, or business models, says ATD's survey on Bridging the Skills Gap.
Thanks to digital disruption, a 4-generation workforce and 60-year careers, organizations are re-thinking how to support employees and their skill development. This requires a refresh in everything from strategies to team skill-sets to modernization of the toolsets.
For companies and their employees to succeed, they need to focus on building skills for the future. And we’ve got some ideas.
As part of an international book circuit, the former CLO of LinkedIn and Yahoo, Kelly Palmer, will be in Toronto on April 24th for Degreed Focus. She will share ideas from The Expertise Economy on how forward-thinking organizations are successfully increasing employee engagement through learning.
But how is this actually playing out at the organizational level? BMO Financial Group is a great example of a team that has future-proofed its learning with an unrelenting focus on skills. Gina Jeneroux, BMO’s Chief Learning Officer is passionate about learning, bold on driving change and will share her strategy and approach with attendees of Focus Toronto.
Gina and her team are in the business of advancing performance by enabling personalized, continuous learning to all of the employees at BMO in support of their job, careers and personal passions.
Join us - you’ll be glad you did!
