Personalized training: if not now, when?

Personalized training: if not now, when?

Every industry expert from Josh Bersin to Elliot Masie predicts that personalization will revolutionise the way firms upskill their staff over the next few years. This modern way of developing staff will not only reduce the cost of training but also minimise the amount of time spent out of the office compared to structured face-to-face training. Filtered and the LPI are excited to host this free event to discuss how personalized online training can be a more efficient solution to train your staff, and examine the relevant principles you can apply to your data to personalize training effectively.

Attendees will include senior L&D and training managers from a range of industries and organisations such as Microsoft, New Look, Apple, Regus, Red Cross, ICAEW, AAT, Lynda and Kingston University.
