"The first thing to understand is that just focusing on competence building will not cut it in the Gig Economy, simply because the Competence will go away with the learner (when s/he leaves the company). It's the knowledge, sometime tacit too, that needs to remain and reside in the organisation. Which is why it's important to integrate Knowledge, Competency and Performance. This is where technology will play a key role by enabling the creation of a learning/ training ecosystem to do this."

With a premise that resonated strongly with all L&D professional as they start dealing with contractual and gig workforce models entering organisational structures, the 30-minute discussion centered on how organisations can build learning cultures as an ongoing process in view of the changing workforce dynamics. It also analyzed what this means for L&D functions and how they can re-calibrate their strategies to adapt to new employment models and still deliver value to their business.
