For organizations, the need of the hour is having suitable L&D programs to boost employee skills and productivity. The challenges faced by dynamic organizations call for innovative strategies to keep up with the learning needs of their workforce. A TweetChat on co-creating strategic learning was organized with the hope to encourage the creation of efficient L&D programs.

Organizations are shifting from traditional learning methods to co-create their learning strategies. This has led to more immersive learning, which in turn has helped organizations deal with L&D challenges with significant business impact. The tweet chat focused on how companies are practicing immersive learning and how they plan to scale up using the same. A few of the interesting questions and tweets that were shared in the Tweetchat are captured here.
