Topic: L&D Lessons Learned From China, Singapore, and Korea: Business Continuity During a Time of Disruption
During the last four months, talent development and learning departments across Asia were forced to reorganize their daily operations and adopt new, more agile ways of working to achieve continuity in their operations. Following months of lockdown and a work-from-home mandate, China and other Asian countries are now beginning to slowly relax many of their restrictions. What can we learn from their experiences?

Featuring chief learning officers (CLOs) and directors of training based in China, Korea, and Singapore, this expert panel will draw from their personal experiences of successfully leading their teams through uncertainty as well as share their TD best practices to ensure business continuity.
