On November 13, 2014, the NJOD Learning Community held its first one-day conference on Learning created in the spirit of the Annual Sharing Day with the focus of blending Education and Practice. The day offered a full agenda including speakers from Academia and Industry who partnered to offer presentations featuring Professors from Universities and Internal Practitioners from major firms, discussions on talent management, and a special Open Space event “Enhancing the Partnership between Academicians and Practitioners”.
The following Agenda describes how we connected research, learning and practical application as we apply new thinking and innovative practice for organizational solutions in our consistently changing world. Volunteers are needed to make the day a success. To volunteer for the NJOD send a note to info@njod.org.
