    Focus Montreal 2018

    September 6th, 2018
    GALLERY GORA
    9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

    Degreed Focus Montreal

    In a world that is changing rapidly, organizations are challenged with driving performance by continuously re-skilling and up-skilling the workforce.  Degreed Focus will explore insights into how to reshape thinking and tools to become more creative, more efficient and more effective.


    We Are Losing the Ability to Think, and What to Do About It 

    With Dan Pontefract


    Society has lost its grip on what matters most: the ability to think. Though the root cause is by no means malicious, we have begun to reward speed over quality, distractedness over focus, and the negative effects suffered in both our personal and professional lives are potentially catastrophic. TELUS Chief Envisioner and author, Dan Pontefract, has led an investigation into our everyday thinking and the results are not good. Due to several alarming factors including busyness, time mismanagement and technology addictions, employees and leaders alike are struggling to cope. 


    What to do? Dan suggests the introduction of something he calls Open Thinking. We need a return to balance between three critical components of productive thought: dream, decide, do … and then repeat.


    Bionic CLO: A Case Study with BMO

    With Sarah Danzl and Josie Ramunno

    Digital technology is transforming just about everything—fast. Yet only a fraction of executives think their HR function is helping them adapt to the digital future. The smartest CLOs are already transforming their approaches to L&D. But evolving to meet the demands of today’s always-on economy takes more than just investing in bite-sized content and the newest technology. What separates the disruptors from the disrupted is how you put those new tools to work. Meet the Bionic CLO.  


    Attendees of Focus will enjoy:

    • The opportunity to hear from a Degreed customer who has modernized the learning experience at a large Canadian organization
    • How innovative L&D professionals are redesigning their toolkits and strategies
    • An autographed copy of Dan’s new book: OPEN to THINK: Slow Down, Think Creatively, and Make Better Decisions 
    • Networking with 40+ industry leaders
