 Collegial and IMD cordially invite you to a virtual summit on the role of learning for competitive advantage. Join us for half a day on the 6th and 20th of October. 

Opening keynote speaker day 1: Marcus Wallenberg, Chair, SEB

Opening keynote speaker day 2: Kristina Persdotter, State Secretary, Ministry of Education and Research


Due to digitalization, automation, and the high speed of change we see in
almost all industries, studies indicate that continuous skills development needs to become a reality for the labor market today to avoid a combination of high unemployment and simultaneous skills shortages.

For the individual, continuous skills development is a necessity to retain value
in the labor market. For companies and nations alike, continuous skills
development represents an investment in workforce engagement and
productivity to maintain sustainable competitive advantage.

During this summit, we are joined by companies setting the benchmark for
how continuous learning can act as the key in adapting to rapid change.
Learn how and why growth mindset and a culture of learning can unlock
people and organizational potential.

You are most welcome to attend this by-invitation-only virtual conference and
partake in insightful perspectives, experiences and research from
representatives from business, government, and academia.

Please join us on the 6th and 20th of October at 9-12 CET!
