I’m thrilled to focus on our new partnership that brings our perspectives together to explore developments in technology that will affect the workforce in the future,” said Bersin. “O’Reilly’s breadth of learning resources—from its online enterprise learning solution to its live events, books, and videos—all help busy professionals stay ahead, build skills over time, and support learning in the flow of work.”
Bersin will also hold a seat on the O’Reilly Product Advisory Board, sharing his expertise to help strategize and guide future enhancements to O’Reilly’s learning platform in order to better serve its rapidly expanding customer base.
“At the intersection of technology and human resource management is a unification that will define how the workforce of the future will be trained and developed, and in what way companies will need to adapt to remain relevant,” said O’Reilly President Laura Baldwin. “We look forward to working with Josh to educate business leaders on how to prepare for and stay ahead of these emerging and exciting trends.”
