Held at the Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore; this year’s conference was attended by more than 160 with speakers from Tesla, NTUC, Siemens, and more unveiling the secrets to developing best practice corporate learning strategies.
Day 1
Kickstarting the conference was Richard Wentworth-Ping, owner and CEO of Wentworth People, with his opening speech as he welcomed all delegates, sponsors and speakers.
Sharing with delegates on the agenda for the day, he said: “One of the highlights this year is that the on-stage case studies and keynote presentation will be supplemented by round-table discussions led by our audience, covering topics such as learning technologies and innovation, high potential development, building a learner centered approach, and more.”
Introducing the first speaker, Beth Davies, director, learning and development, Tesla took the stage with her presentation on embracing the modern learner, which she explained is not just the millennials.
Sharing more on what motivates them, and what can be done to develop their learning, she said: “What we need to do is help our people match the learning abilities map to the stages of their career.”
Moving forward, delegates were engaged in a series of fun and quick case studies. First up, Angelo Pinto regional head of learning and development and has been the head of the APAC campus for BNP Paribas.
