Event Date: March 30th
Join senior learning executives from Serono Inc and Wyeth BioPharma as they lead a discussion about the challenges of creating a Learning Culture with a diverse learning audience ranging from scientists to sales representatives, each with a preferred learning style.
What is the best method of learning for a large, multi- cultural biotech/biopharma organization? The answer is “It depends.” First on what must be learned and more importantly, on who is doing the learning?
The challenges of creating a Learning Culture start with a diverse learning audience ranging from scientists to sales representatives, each with a preferred learning style. Mix in the need for a flexible learning curriculum, knowledge assessments and multi-lingual technology tools and the result is an approach to employee development that matches learning methods to learning styles.
