In the year 2023, a new world is emerging. The pandemic’s disruption will no longer be a novelty. Inflationary pressures will create new global challenges. Models of recovery and assistance will evolve as well. Business as we know it will take on a completely new form and outlook.
As businesses find their place in a new world, the role of Learning and Development (L&D) will be given even more context. Professionals will be able to reskill, leverage change, and realize their full potential as industries restructure.
