In an age of rapid change and disruption, organisations must either keep pace or die. The transformation of practices, changing markets, emerging technologies and new trends can be overwhelming, but with a digitally ready workforce, which benefits from authentic, situated learning and development (L&D), the task can be made easier. Digital transformation in organisations is not easy, but can be successfully achieved, especially where key personnel – a critical mass of individuals – know how to leverage the power and potential of digital technology to manage change. In this interactive session we will explore the following ideas: Change and digital transformation New models of L&D Digital readiness L&D as change agency Barriers and enablers for innovation New technologies and the future of learning and development

Digital Transformation involves more than technology “Digital transformation forces wholesale change to the foundations of an enterprise — from its operating model to its infrastructure, what it sells, and to whom and how.” – Harvard Business Review (2017) “While the digital transformation of industries will be profound, we must keep in mind that it will have wider economic and social impact, too, as with previous revolutions driven by steam and coal, electricity and computers.” – World Economic Forum (2016) “….there is the psychological aspect in which companies tend to focus on what made them successful and don’t take notice when something new comes about.” – Investopedia (2018) “To succeed with your digital transformation, members of leadership need to build new digital ways of working that become part of the corporate DNA and are embraced by every member of your team.” – Forbes (2018) “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” – Peter Drucker
