Breakout -
What will Education look like in 3 or 5 or 10 years?
The rate of change in IT
technology has been rapid. This has greatly influenced access
to information, growth of knowledge and skills acquisition.
The implications for the training delivery organisation and
the trainee are already being seen with the likes of the
virtual classroom, but where will it be in 3, 5 and 10 years’
time and how will it affect the training business. This
session encourages you to put yourself into a future state and
consider the possibilities.

Keynote:
“Disruptive
Innovation and Learning - Where Next?”
There is much discussion around change and
innovation, but what does it actually mean for customers, and
what will be the impact on learning and development? New and
emerging technologies are among the major disruptive forces in
society today. What are disruptive technologies? Why will they
be so vital for forward-moving customers? This is a gaze into
the future.

Keynote:
“Learning technologies in EMEA – the
market realities”
For European customers, evaluating their
learning technology supply options is a complex process,
especially when the majority of market analysis is IS-centric
and aimed at an IT audience. How do they differentiate the
main vendors? How do the vendors perform? What about cost
versus complexity? This interactive session provides
independent advice and comment on leading vendors and trends
in each of the main market sectors, such as bespoke
e-learning, the LMS market, authoring tools and emerging
technologies.

Breakout -
“Go To Market Strategy in 3 – 5 years”
This centres on how do you perceive the changes
in your GTM strategy,
given
the theme of this year’s conference and the insights gained as
part of both keynotes. Consideration should be given to
content and collateral,
modality taxonomies, and
other
factors such as length of classes, size of classes, theory to
lab ratio, and so on.

Why
Change?
Advancing technologies and new learning
theories are giving us all massive opportunities to radically
redefine both our offerings and our business models, but is
the fact that we can change enough reason to change? A clear
example of this is VILT where the market has been very clear,
and demonstrated it by very low customer demand / uptake, that
they do not want it. Almost without exception we have ignored
this market feedback and persevered, why?
In this session we will discuss the various
drivers for change and how valid they are.
