Today, we are undergoing a paradigm shift. The world is not only changing because of technological innovation, but it has been accelerated because of the pandemic. We are now looking for new ways of approaching work and training.
To navigate this disruption, individuals need to take control of their own destiny. It requires us to make bold decisions in a world of uncertainty. How do we reimagine training and learning? How do we incorporate new emerging technologies? Today, we need to be bold, brave, and experimental.
Disruptive times require disruptive ideas. And in this high-energy presentation, shot completely in a 750-person empty theatre, Shawn Kanungo provides a bold roadmap for the future. He explores how we can take unexpected approaches to innovation to remain relevant within life sciences and beyond.
