Connect 2024: Be the disruption

Learning NewsNews features

Participants at The Learning Network’s annual conference discuss how L&D can set an agenda for positive change.

 

Connect 2024 took place in London last week. Its theme was ‘be the disruption’. 

Learning and development practitioners often feel disruption is something that happens to them. And it can hurt if you're not the one doing the disrupting. 

There were four debates on how L&D might anticipate and lead disruptive change, an exhibition of learning providers, keynotes from Laura Overton and Cara North and talks from learning and development practitioners. 

Learning News was there to find out what everyone came up with and gather views about the big topics facing the profession.
