Christopher Lind (GE) - The Role of Technology in the Learning Experience

My guest this week is Christopher Lind, Head of Global Digital Learning for GE Healthcare and host of the hugely popular Learning Tech Talks.

We covered a lot of ground in this one, but the common thread was how technology is reshaping the learning landscape, and we preview Christopher’s big push to provide high-quality learning opportunities for those who consider themselves learning professionals.

In our conversation, we discuss:

  • the role technology is playing in driving the emphasis on the learner experience
  • the “Stockholm Syndrome” of traditional approaches to L&D
  • the evolving role of content creators
  • the challenges of curation
  • Christopher’s plans for effective professional development for those in learning roles

You can find Christopher on LinkedIn or check out his Learning Tech Talks to stay up to date with emerging technologies and the people behind them. 

At SureSkills, we deliver learning and enablement services to the worlds leading technology companies and global organizations.

About the Podcast

SureSkills Learn to Grow Podcast
When change is inevitable, learning and growth are essential.
The Learn to Grow Podcast is an anecdotal look at the learning landscape aimed at L&D and HR professionals. I interview leaders in learning about their experience first-hand in the world of learning and development helping people and organizations reach their potential. We discuss top trends including learning technology, the role of learning cultures, and the foundations of a successful learning experience.

We believe learning and growth are intertwined, both for individuals and organizations. Individuals learn to grow within their roles, careers, and personal lives. Organizations' learning programs are now major contributors to business success, helping them attract and retain top talent, upskill and reskill, and adapt to the inevitable changes the future will bring. In this podcast, we speak to leaders in the learning and development industry about the learning landscape.

Learning is the thread that runs through my personal and professional passions. I believe continuous learning and growth is the key to a fulfilling and rewarding life.

As a Learning and Content Specialist at SureSkills, I work with the teams across our entire business (from digital content development to competency-based learning to learning technology support) to make sure our services are meeting our clients where they are. That means staying on top of current trends in the industry, building relationships with leaders who experience these trends on a daily basis, and continuing to learn and grow myself.
