Webinar: Delivering customised learning in today’s virtual world

Duration: 1 hour


Questions from attendees highlighted just how important this topic is to so many right now. A recurring theme was that when designing and delivering online, we need to not just think of the engagement of participants, but also the welfare and resilience of those delivering.

At the close of the webinar we posed a question as to the preferred format of short executive development programmes. Over half of respondents would prefer a blended approach; a combination of face-to-face and online learning delivered in real-time. So while the online capability has helped so many of us maintain our learning and development during this pandemic, face-to-face on-site delivery is still something people yearn for. We hope we can invite people back to Cranfield soon, but our ability to deliver powerful blended learning experiences will remain a key part of our portfolio.

 

 

About the Series

Organisations have been forced to implement new ways of working in the current pandemic. Employees are having to rapidly adjust and learn new skills. Many organisations are finding their values and culture are becoming prominent in the public eye.

Many organisations are fighting to survive. Others are also grappling with the question “How can we learn from this experience and ensure that we, and our workforce emerge from Covid-19 better placed to respond to the next crisis?

McKinsey & Company wrote an insightful article which contained six pragmatic steps to help organisations address aspects of this question.

This prompted us to create a series of six interconnected one-hour webinars, each one of which resonates with one of the six McKinsey steps, and draws upon our faculty expertise and experience to help you ensure your organisation survives and thrives post-Covid 19.

Featuring expert faculty and partner organisations share their thinking and ideas in interactive sessions designed to support your journey through this pandemic and beyond.
