Digital transformation: understanding the landscape, grabbing the opportunity
Euan Semple is presenting at Learning Technologies 2019 to help learning professionals to better understand the broader landscape of digital transformation.
With 70% of organisations already underway with their digital transformation of learning, it’s worth pausing to consider what this really means for the future of work. True transformation is not about digitising old processes. In many ways it isn’t about technology at all, but a shift in mindset and how we do things.
“Euan Semple is here to help us better understand the broader landscape of digital transformation and how L&D can make the most of this unique moment in time,” explains Donald H Taylor, Conference Chair, Learning Technologies.
A term more widely used than understood, ‘Digital Transformation’ combines two great modern tropes: the increasing presence of technology in our lives, and the idea that it will fundamentally change them.
Euan Semple has been a leader and an influencer in digital technology for two decades, having implemented one of the world’s first enterprise social network systems at the BBC. In this jargon-free session, he will set the scene for the great technology shift taking place around us, describe some likely impacts on workplace learning, and explore ways L&D can make the most of the resulting opportunities.
Euan Semple’s session, “Digital transformation: understanding the landscape, grabbing the opportunity” takes place at Learning Technologies 2019, day two, 14 February, 13:55.
