Abstract

Companies today are working on strategies to expand their businesses globally, establish strong brands, integrate after mergers/acquisitions, cut costs, streamline processes, launch products faster and improve the customer experience. However, learning has historically been relegated to point‐driven activities undertaken by the HR or training departments. Successful execution of strategy requires a change in behaviors and operations. To that end, true business transformation means equipping employees with actionable knowledge and skills to achieve business results. Explores the e‐learning programs of organizations that are making the connection between learning and strategy to achieve their business goals.
