Kumaar Bagrodia, executive coach and founder, LeapVault in his welcome speech said, “It is the chief learning officer who holds the key to the future of organisational capability. Every major company in the US has a strong focus on learning and development. In India, that’s not the case.” Said Dr. A K Balyan, MD & CEO, Petronet Lng, “Modern organisations use their resources, money and time to continuously impact the learning of their employees. Some of the drivers for organisational learning are complexity, chaos and change.” He also said that with technology and best work practices available to everyone, organisations must focus on knowledge management and try and link knowledge with the performance.
A few learning derived:
1) The emerging differentiation between “HR” processes and the specialised role that the CLO needs to play given the evident needs for organisational development, training, re skilling and management capability development should be gauged.
2) CLOs need to think like business managers and create business impact by understanding the business issues and what is needed to address them.
3) The larger skilling agenda should be executed for India and not just for individual organizations.
