Delivering world-class learning solutions with Harvard Business Publishing

Recognising the importance of designing blended programmes to engage learners, Harvard Business Publishing will be demonstrating thought leadership at Training & Development Asia, the region’s only learning and development conference for HR leaders and senior L&D specialists.

Training & Development Asia 2016 is a two-day regional conference for HR managers and senior learning & development specialists which will take place in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore in June.

“Powerful forces — time constraints, diverse learning styles, flatter organisations and resource limitations — are eroding engagement among today’s learners,” said Perdeep Kumar, regional director, southeast Asia for Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning.

Presenting a session on “maximising your training programmes to reduce cost and drive revenue”, Kumar’s session will touch on how attendees can design a learning programme that cuts through distraction and engages learners.

With five generations in the workforce, learning elements range from the traditional classroom to video gaming and even virtual reality.

According to Kumar, smart learning design is the solution to gaining your learners’ attention – programmes that help participants learn through emotional engagement and context, by doing and reflecting, and in short bursts over a longer period of time will help your employees gain the critical capabilities they need to drive business success.

Kumar started his career as a researcher in the National University of Singapore and moved on to a business development role with the world largest scientific publisher, Elsevier.

After a span of 13 years culminating in an APAC-wide leadership role, he moved to the Corporate Learning Group of Harvard Business School Publishing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Harvard Business School. He has a keen interest in leadership and mindfulness and spends his available time reflecting on leadership lessons from ancient Asian scriptures.

Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning partners with global and government organisations to strategise and deliver world-class innovative and technology-enabled leadership development solutions for leaders at all levels.

Harvard Business Publishing Corporate Learning leverages the business insight and thought leadership of Harvard Business School faculty, Harvard Business Review authors, and other management to create and deliver flexible leadership development solutions in blended learning formats that address the most pressing business challenges within an organisation.
