AmCham PowerBreakfast: Reshaping Talent Development

AmCham Denmark, in partnership with Area9 Lyceum, is pleased to invite interested stakeholders to a PowerBreakfast at the AmCham Loft to learn from one of the leading voices in talent development and organizational transformation, featuring Area9 founder and CEO Dr. Ulrik Juul Christensen.

Regardless of which economic forecast you choose to believe, one thing is certain: the pressure on jobs and reskilling has never been higher. Shifting global competitiveness, the impact of robots and automation, blockchain and cryptocurrencies, demographic changes, and other issues are making the need to continuously develop workers in every industry, at every grade level, and at every age increasingly paramount.

Unfortunately, educational and training practices are still largely rooted in 20th – and in some cases 19th – century thinking.  Talent development, even in the largest multinational organizations, often ignores what basic science tells us about how we learn, and how easily our brains trick us into holding onto misconceptions.

Join us for this PowerBreakfast to learn how to transform organizational capability by rethinking life-long learning.
