Why Your Business Strategy Should Be a Learning Strategy
from Get Reworked Hosted by Mike Prokopeak and Siobhan Fagan
In February 2020, Delta Air Lines was celebrating a record year for travel and looking forward to a 2020 that would potentially surpass even that. Thirty days later, nearly all of that business was gone. In this episode of Get Reworked, Brandon Carson talks about the experience of living through that moment and how it's opened up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine work. Until recently, Brandon was head of learning at Delta, one of the world's largest airlines, and recently took on a new role as vice president of learning and leadership at Walmart. He's also the author of a new book, "L&D's Playbook in the Digital Age." It's that learning and development focus that has him feeling more hopeful, not less so, about the future. Listen: Get Reworked Podcast Full Episode List "We've got all these opportunities to connect to each other and learn from each other," Brandon said. "So it's an opportunity that is unlike anything we've had in the past." Highlights of the conversation include: What he learned about leadership and learning through lockdown. How companies can reset and rebuild their leadership bench for future success. What exactly is different about how companies approach employee development in the digital age. Why a learning strategy needs to be the business strategy. Plus, co-hosts Siobhan Fagan and Mike Prokopeak talk with Brandon about AI, digital natives, 70-20-10 and the enduring magic of Whitney Houston. Listen in for more.
