Accelerating at the Speed of Light:
Tech Trends and Challenges in 2021


Data from a recent McKinsey Global Survey of executives suggest that the COVID-19 crisis is a technology tipping point of historic proportions and that more changes will be required as the economic and human situation evolves. This half-day virtual event will explore what this extreme acceleration has meant for learning and development, and what the future might look like as we slowly emerge from the global pandemic. Featuring panels, interviews, TED-style talks and networking with chief learning officers and learning practitioners from the banking and financial services and technology sectors, discussion will focus on the increased reliance on technology for L&D, the challenges leaders face in finding (and gaining budget approval for) the right tools for their organizations and the difficulties of training a multi-generational workforce to use those technologies.

In so many ways, the tech industry has helped people and companies stay connected and keep their businesses afloat during these difficult times. But that does not mean the sector has been immune to the challenges of the pandemic.

Reimagining L&D in Banking and Financial Services

The banking and financial services sector, like all industries, has faced a wide array of challenges during the past year. In addition to ensuring clear communication to retain their clients’ trust, addressing growing cybersecurity issues and being mindful of compliance responsibilities, investment in digital and analytics capabilities has been crucial, and will continue to be going forward. This not only requires changes to current culture and operations, but also the development of new workforce skills.
