Lifelong Learning with Prof. Katharina Lange and Alain Dehaze, CEO of The Adecco Group

IMD Professor of Leadership Katharina Lange sits down with Alain Dehaze, CEO of The Adecco Group to discuss lifelong learning. They discuss the shift of responsibility for the long-term learning process from public sector to the individual. 

Individuals must maintain employability through life-long learning effort which is the “ability to learn faster than the competitor may be the only sustainable competitive advantage in the future".

Corporate learning changes: Employees are less loyal, investment in corporate learning decreases; at the same time need for upskilling to build competent workforce

Public sector, as “purveyor” of education: traditional responsibility to provide education typically ended with the provision of higher education/ university system. Today, new models to incentivize lifelong learning can be observed to keep the workforce employable.
