HR Happy Hour 297 - Enterprise Learning and Development in 2017

HR Happy Hour 297 - Enterprise Learning and Development in 2017

Host: Steve Boese

Guest: Jenny Dearborn, SVP and CLO, SAP

This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve is joined by Jenny Dearborn, SVP and Chief Learning Officer of SAP to talk about enterprise learning and development, the role of technology, and how companies and individuals can best prepare themselves for the world of work ahead.

With all the changes, dynamism, and challenges facing organizations as well as employees with respect to ongoing learning, skills development, and the need to prepare both our organizations and ourselves for the future world of work, the role of the learning leader and its importance have changed over time.

From the era of 'formal' training, to design focused approaches, to the modern world of mobile and social learning, the need for organizations, and HR and learning leaders to conntinuously adapt and change has never been more important.

Jenny shared insights from her perspective as the CLO of a large, global organization, as well as her years advising both individuals and organizations as they contend with important learning and development challenges in 2017 and beyond.

Addtionally, Jenny and Steve talked about their mutual love and admiration for superheroes and comic books, and geeked out about Wonder Woman.

Jenny's upcoming book, The Data Driven Leader: A Powerful Approach to Leading with Analytics, Driving Decisions, and Delivering Breakthrough Business Results can be pre-ordered here.
