People Own Their Careers - Not Companies
Change Management Strategies to Build a New Mindset in HR
How do talent and learning teams shift mindsets, behaviors, and systems to accommodate the evolution of career ownership?
More than ever before, employees are looking for career autonomy. They want to choose the skills they'll learn, define the expertise they'll develop, and decide how much time they'll spend doing so. At the same time, learning organizations are continually challenged to deliver on the expectations of today while also enabling transformational development; preparing their companies with the skills of the future.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by these challenges? If the answer is yes, you are not alone.
But have no fear. You can drive this mindset shift! With the right strategies and use of modern engagement tools, you can enable employee-owned learning and career development and transform capability at your company. Your first step is shifting focus away from fighting the old to building the new.

Chief Learning Officer

Melanie Davis is the Chief Learning Officer at Ford, a lifelong learner, and a serial college dropout with a master's degree. While she is confident she prefers learning in-person, the time she spends listening to Audible books would suggest otherwise. Her proudest achievements include: Developing an escape room for a hundred people set in a galaxy far away to teach innovation, self-awareness, and inclusion. And convincing her husband that they needed at least two dogs.
