Shifting the Bedrock – Why we need to make the foundations of business more human-centric
/
Conversation Date: 07/27/2022
In this conversation, we will touch on why so much of what we talk about in regard to innovation in the corporate education/training space has been and will be surface-level until we change the fundamental ways we think of people. As leaders, we frequently talk about people as our greatest asset, however, our balance sheets show them liabilities. You don't invest in costs.
