Work life is just not what it used to be. Our training needs to reflect that. Employees' work conditions change, often unpredictably: one day in the office, one day at home, one day on the road.... we need a learning model that adapts to where people need to learn while also designing content in a way that meets the business goals. Maximizing audience engagement means we need to merge the concepts of blended learning and hybrid learning.
