    Driving learning in a VUCA world
    May 23 2020
    If there was ever a poster boy for a volatile, an uncertain, a complex and an ambiguous (VUCA) world, this would be it. And among the many changes that managers have had to work around is the approach they and their teams have to take towards learning. How does one make online learning effective? How does a manager make learning work even with a slashed learning budget? What unconventional sources of learning can a manager creatively use for learning? All this and more in this episode of Management On Toast. And we have for the very first time a special guest joining us for the episode: Ms. Shruti Joshi. Shruti works with Asian Paints and is an alumni of XLRI who specializes in talent management and organization development. We explore how managers can use continuous learning, an expanded learning diet, and a growth mindset to build a vibrant learning culture in their teams.
