The TLF enabled senior level executives to interact with their industry peers, gain insights into creative solutions used elsewhere, learn about innovative training practices, and learn from the experience of some of the most successful e-learning initiatives in the U.S.
“We figure that if we let our clients share their experiences, we can also learn a lot. So it’s a new way of learning for us as well”, Manoj Kutty said.
