If you can make data visual so that people can see it, and it expresses the insights people can make much better decisions. Visualisation is a lot easier than machine learning09:47 - The biggest challenges confronted by L&D leaders and companiesCritical thinking, problem identification and problem-solving skills are critical. There's been a lot of talk about this becoming increasingly critical but the real challenge is to build those skills inside the people in organizations. It's not just about training, but transforming the company, in terms of skill and cultureIn Saint Gobain, Data Analytics Academy was launched in 2019. We recognise the opportunity, the need to upskill engineers and our plants, to be able to use machine learning on themselves to get insights out of the data they have every day to continually improve productionWhat matters is, what are they able to do with the training and guidance provided. With a good learning experience, we're could see people reduce the energy consumption on a line of production by over 10%. But with traditional techniques, they've never been able to get more than a 1% reduction15:44 - How do you get people to change?Organisational structure plays a very crucial role in transformation. The organisation has to support employees and make it easier for them to do the new thing than the old onesIf data and data analytics are really important, it has to be something that senior leaders should be talking about all the time. Also making sure, that they're walking the talk when they make decisions. They're basing it on data and not on intuition. So that's the most important thing that has to happen if you want to get individuals to change20:54 - What is the significance of employee experience in driving successful digital transformation?People approach the employee experience from many different dimensions. What's important is that the learning should be as close to the moment of need on the job. It is imperative to design all of their programmes to be about real things that people have to get done on the groundAs L&D practitioners, we should focus on creating an environment that promotes collaboration and encourage employees to take up different thingsBart Schutte's LinkedInFollow us:  Twitter | LinkedInSubscribe: The Digital Adoption ShowLove what you heard?
