PM Insights Foster City Virtual Meeting: Igniting Behavior Change Thru Technology in the New Normal

PM Insights Foster City - Igniting Behavior Change Thru Technology in the New Normal When: Tue, September 21, 2021 6:00pm-8:00pm Pacific Time Where: Virtual Meeting (Registrants will receive joining details from Meeting Leader on the Same Day of event. Zoom meeting link will be emailed to the email address provided during event registration, so please make sure to enter correct email address. For the people who have multiple email accounts, please make sure to check the email account used during registration. Thank you! ) Last Date for On-line Registration is Mon, September 20, 2021 Description: The events of the past year have created a change in the competencies and behaviors necessary for professionals to succeed and is the starting point for a wider paradigm shift on how we train employees. More than 120 million workers in the world’s 12 largest economies need to be upskilled in the next 3 years. Micro-competencies like authenticity, vulnerability, inclusivity and agility will become even more important than functional experience or fancy academic degrees. Those competencies require learning delivery that involves more than rote memorization and digital quizzes. In addition, technology exists now to address individual learning styles. In other words, technology can adjust to people rather than the other way around. We invite you to imagine, what if you could learn how to switch off unwanted behaviors or habits and become your ideal self with minimal effort? Although habit change has been nearly impossible historically, today, new developments in AI and technology are making it possible for learning to adapt individuals’ behaviors, making learning both fun and creative. We invite you to join us and explore how ‘real time’ learning through technology support and just in time messaging is replacing traditional classroom training.
