CERTPOINT in collaboration with Charles Jennings exploring the evolving role of HR at the Executive Knowledge Exchange, Basle, Tuesday 27 March.

25 March 2012. Maria van Vlodrop, Certpoint Systems’ General Manager Europe, joins a stellar line up at the 2012 Learning Technologies Executive Knowledge Exchange when she explores the challenges faced by HR with learning technologies thought leader Charles Jennings of Duntroon Associates.

The session takes place on Tuesday 27 March 9.30-11.00 CET in Basle, Switzerland.

Comments Maria van Vlodrop, “A new generation of techno-savvy learners is driving how we approach training. Not content with knowledge pushed by central HR, these new learners are seeking information beyond the company walls. Meanwhile, organizations are working more closely than before with clients, suppliers, partner companies – sharing skills, best practices and learning. All this impacts the way companies operate. We intend to present steps to success in this new learning world.”

During the session Maria and Charles will discuss issues facing the evolving role and responsibility for corporate HR in the management of learning inside and across the extended enterprise.  They will argue that traditional corporate HR models need to restructure to meet the next generation learning environment - an environment which provides the opportunity to direct corporate learning across the whole enterprise.

They will also analyze the new technologies available and share insights into the new breed of learners driving these initiatives forward.

The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion including CERTPOINT client Johanna Sadoudi, Global Learning Director, L’Oréal; Martin Raske, Director, Global Head E-learning Solutions, Credit Suisse; and Craig Yetter, Director Global Learning, GlaxoSmithKline. The panel will examine the impact of the new learning world on their own organizations.

CERTPOINT and L’Oréal have worked in partnership for three years, during which they have launched the CERTPOINT branded learning system “My Learning”  -  currently supporting 45,000 plus L’Oréal employees globally. “My Learning” has democratized learning across this iconic organization, making it accessible to all. The new approach is truly blended, meeting all employees’ learning needs, whatever their role and wherever they work worldwide. The system provides access to online materials, practical on the job assignments, face to face events and powerful collaboration integrated with all the components of the learning framework.
