1. Redefining the story of human resources, talent & training in a new context

At the beginning of the seminar, Dr. Gian Tu Trung – Founder of PACE Institute of Management shared about the context of economic, cultural, and social fluctuations. He said that volatility is happening every day, so leaders and businesses need to have a strong mentality through constantly touching values that transcend space and time. 

Investing in the "learning" of the team and promoting a learning culture in the business is the solution to upgrade their team, there are countless businesses that understand the importance of L&D strategy but do not know how to plan and implement it effectively.

To have an effective strategy, it is necessary to redefine the roles and competencies of L&D professionals, including all levels from company leaders, human resource leaders and L&D leaders. Leadership capacity is the core factor to successfully implement L&D strategies.
