According to conference founder and publisher of Diversity Woman Magazine, Dr. Sheila Robinson, the constant pace of technology continues to reshape how we work and live, so it is crucial that women equip themselves with the necessary tools and resources to succeed and advance in the 21st century workplace. “As organizations continue to innovate their products and services, we must ask ourselves how are we innovating our talent,” said Dr. Robinson “Lifelong learning is crucial for the innovation of human capital, and we must now be even more aggressive in how we learn to include e-learning, relearning and even unlearning.”
