How Organizations Can Use Brain Science to Lead Successful Change Management Initiatives with Dr. Britt Andreatta: For years, L&D experts have been battling the question of how to make learning more productive, more effective, more permanent. With skills becoming shorter in their lifespan in terms of usefulness, effective and quick learning is imperative now more than ever. Continuous learning is the key to an updated and upskilled workforce.
