Seriously Mobile Series Update
We've just added Billy Ward of Cable & Wireless to the expert panel. Billy is helping lead a transformation from event driven formal learning to including informal learning in their mix and will be on hand to share what's driving the need for change and how to manage it. Registrations are coming in fast as people are sending our invitations around and I'm encouraged by the number of colleagues from the same company planning to attend for a shared experience that I hope serves as a catalyst for action. Of note, we finish fairly early (at 14:30), and there are many pubs and coffee shops nearby to continue your conversations on next steps!
