The Leading Collaborative Learning Platform Debuts its “Book Club Live” Event Series to Help Foster Capability Building Across the Learning & Development Community
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2, 2022 — NovoEd, the leading social and collaborative learning platform for deep capability building, today announces the debut of its Book Club Live events. The ongoing virtual series will bring together some of the world’s most influential thinkers and authors covering the evolving field of organizational dynamics to connect with its rich community of learning & development professionals across industries.
NovoEd’s Book Club Live events explore topics and challenges being faced by transformational business leaders worldwide, such as how to build organizations that are as inspired and innovative as its employees; how to remain human in the age of data; and the role creativity plays in collaboration, transformation, memory, and retention. The event series follows the recent introduction of The LX Community, NovoEd’s free public forum designed to spark conversation and connection within the L&D community.
“As humans, we crave community. Work provides an environment where community can happen, and learning, when done right, is a natural facilitator of relationships,” said Alex Gruhin, NovoEd’s Head of Brand Experiences. “NovoEd’s Book Club Live series strives to create a sense of belonging among industry professionals that shapes a culture focused on meaningful impact for the individual, the team, and the organization.”
