"This is a record breaking year for Perspectives, with so many of our customers excited to attend," said John Ambrose, senior vice president, strategy, corporate development and emerging business, SkillSoft. We are extremely proud that our customers value what Perspectives provides for them – access to business and leadership experts such as General McChrystal and Jack Phillips, the chairman of the ROI Institute, but also the exclusive opportunity to share best practices with other customers and industry leaders on how to create and maintain successful learning programs. We are looking forward to meeting with our customers and continuing to work closely with them to develop innovative learning programs that drive value to their businesses."
The learning sessions, presented by customers such as General Electric, Unysis and Accenture, will include case studies of existing learning programs, and the workshops will cover topics such as working with third party learning management systems, marketing learning programs, learning governance, creating blended learning programs and evaluating the impact of learning on organizational performance.
