In this presentation, Shannon Tipton, Owner of Learning Rebels discuss how the digital divide is present in different technical skill levels of employees and why this divide may be the main reason of slowed or delayed productivity or upskilling.
How can L&D better partner with organizations to support employee’s emersion into the digital world, which can be at their disposal in any given situation? If a valued partnership is not created, are organizations at risk of experiencing an even larger gap?
Shannon discusses:
- Is technology bringing us together or driving us apart?
- How to focus on digital innovation and collaboration
- How does L&D help bridge the divide while partnering with the business?
