360Learning - Is your ship stuck?

One story captured the world’s attention more than any other this week: the 144-hour scramble to unblock the Suez Canal after the container ship the Ever Given ran aground in high winds. 

This was a major problem, and it pointed to some big weaknesses. How the heck could just one ship block 12% of global trade, at a daily cost of USD $9 billion? 

The truth is, most of the time, we don’t think about the systems working in the background. But when there’s a snag, it can quickly become a nightmare. 

This is the same for L&D. Too many of us are relying on decades-old learning technology that can’t move with the times. And when this technology runs aground, it’s a big hassle to fix.

So, what’s the answer?

Sometimes, we need the right set of tips from market-leading organizations just to keep the ship afloat. Or, we need a playbook to deliver exciting and informative learning to our customers.

Other times, we need to share our own stories of how to set sail in the right direction–no matter how strong the winds might be blowing.

Whatever you need to stay afloat, we’ve got you covered.

Land, ho!
