Key Quotes:

“ If you look at the investment in an individual’s sort of lifelong learning, you know, unsurprisingly, that investment drops off a cliff  after someone turns about 24, 25…  there is a growing need for skill development, but the institutional support is lacking and therefore companies need to step up and fill that gap.”

“ When I think about what's important and what opportunities are available for companies in market, I think about, do you have an L&D program that is available and frictionless? People want to be learning where they are, not where you want them to be.”

“What does a strong learning culture look like? It is something rooted in three things: one is curiosity, one is velocity, and one is a high-trust team. And those three things together will accelerate business outcomes.”
