SESSION OVERVIEW

Speaker: Clare Shell (Learning Technologies Manager, Bupa Health and Wellbeing UK)

Over the last five years Bupa Health and Wellbeing UK (BHW) has successfully undergone a significant transformation to enable the business to innovate and differentiate in an increasingly competitive market. Learning technology has supported this transformation every step of the way. From a large scale systems change to a company-wide engagement programme, technology-enabled learning has been used extensively always with the long view on the customer conversation.

Drawing on practical experience, Clare Shell showcases two new resource-based projects that reinvent how employees connect with knowledge and their customers. New approach mirrors the diverse global nature of the organisation

• Making self-service learning assets available at point-of-need

• Building job-specific knowledge with new approaches
