“2016 is the year when we stop talking about what needs to be done. Instead it is the year when we need to make it happen,” writes Laura Overton, Founder and CEO of Towards Maturity—and keynote speaker for the 2016 Lectora® User conference.Laura’s expertise on modern learning comes from 30 years of practical experience looking at learning innovation for business advantages. It’s also backed by her independent research since 2003 when she authored “Linking Learning To Business” —one of the first industry benchmark studies with both organizations and learners investigating good practices of successful implementations.She’ll be sharing her expertise at the LUC 2016 using research with over 4,400 L&D leaders and 20,000 learners around the globe, along with practical insights gleaned from the world’s top-performing organizations.A recent Towards Maturity report, The Consumer Learner at Work, showed that:

Think about the impact this will be having on those who are less motivated.”When business is changing rapidly and learners are under more pressure than ever before, L&D has a unique opportunity to make a real difference to both performance and employee engagement. The future is bright, but L&D needs to adapt—fast.Ready to start building better modern learning cultures in 2016?
