The business of learning is undergoing a transformation and today, and digital technology is making it possible for people to access learning content at a faster, more efficient and cost effective rate than ever
Being a part of HR and L&D fraternity, we are on the brink of experiencing two major changes at the functional as well as at the organizational level. The first one is Digital Revolution i.e. 4IR and the second one is the millennial population.
It has been wide ‘n’ clear that by 2025, millennials will make up approximately 50 percent of our workforce. Take a second to think about the impact of that statistic — if more and more millennials will be around in just a short amount of time, then more and more will also continue to make up a significant portion of large corporates. Likewise, as we speak, we are witnessing the complete transformation around digital revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. If you try connecting both the dots together, you may find them complementing each other or sort of having live-in relationship of Cause ‘n’ Effect. Millennials are the individuals born between the years 1982-2002, and the same period also saw the arrival of digital revolution characterized by a fusion of technologies, which has been evolving at an exponential pace since then. Perhaps it also explains why millennials are also referred to as “Digital Natives”. Since they had an early exposure to such changes, their access/comfort with information and technology and digital media is far greater than any previous generation.
