With the business world changing at an ever-increasing pace, even L&D strategies that have served you well in the past may not be as effective in the present. At Aflac, one challenge was a traditional ILT approach to training that just wasn’t the right fit for the company anymore. The team knew that by aligning learning strategies and solutions to emerging technologies, they could not only make a bigger impact on the people taking their training, but also make an overwhelming impact on the company’s bottom line. And the change they made to do this was a shift to virtual.

In this case study session, you’ll find out more about the overall scope and ideology of Aflac’s strategic shift from ILT to VILT. You’ll explore their journey through this process, including the learning solutions explored and the best practices they learned from this process. You’ll also find out more about the resources, technologies, and strategies that helped them along the way. Finally, you’ll take a closer look at the business side of this shift and examine the overall ROI they experienced by adopting this new approach for training.

• How Aflac shifted from ILT to VILT and what they learned from the experience
