The business ecosystem is becoming more competitive and with uncertain economic outlook and rapid technological disruption the challenges are further increasing. Amidst such competition and chaos, businesses need to see how they can not only survive and sustain but scale and excel in their space. For this they need to create a powerhouse of talent that helps them thrive.

The focus hence shifts to investing in learning and development of talent and building a high-impact learning culture. As a Bersin report pointed out, “The single biggest driver of business impact is the strength of an organization’s learning culture.” However, culture is easy to talk about, but implementation and promotion of one is an elusive and a challenging task.
