Back to School 2020: Focus on New Technologies in the World of Skills
In this special back-to-school 2020 issue, Learn Assembly takes a look at the post-lock-down learning and human resources industries. The moment of truth has now arrived. After all the hype and the shock of the health crisis, it's time to face reality and see which practices, methodologies and players will survive or disappear. Our aim: to provide a (non-exhaustive) overview of the new developments that have particularly caught our attention. Technologies, players, tools... Read on for our observations, advice and recommendations on how to tackle the new year in a calm and positive way.

“Another new technology!”. “We've already got plenty of tools”. “Are we going to have to create a new password for ourselves?”. “We need an integrated solution”.
Do these sentences ring a bell? Then you've already encountered one of the great classics of resistance to change: the myth of the single, integrated platform.
For over thirty years, the major corporations have been handing over the truck, the truck keys and the gasoline that goes with them to a handful of oligopolistic software and IT service providers. The result: platforms that are five to ten years behind in terms of functionality and UX, deployment times of several months, astronomical project management support costs, over-powered tools used at a tenth of their functionality, unsatisfied customers and a few emblematic failures. While digital acculturation programs have cost millions to understand blockchain, many employees remain terrified at the thought of discovering a new digital platform.

At Learn Assembly, we've long since stopped believing in “the-platform-that-does-it-all”. "The platform-that-does-it-all" doesn't really do anything well. At a time when agility and frugality are on everyone's lips, too many companies continue to maintain their own dependence on monolithic tools that suck up their budgets and deprive them of agility.
New players are emerging in all areas of learning and HR, and this specialization is certainly leading to a lack of clarity. To clarify matters, Learn Assembly Papers presents a new issue on technologies for skills development.
You'll find:
- a white paper on Teams, which has become the main learning platform;
- a testimonial from Afpa which has implemented its digital transformation;
- interviews with several EdTech players in an article on the reality behind the post-lock-down hype about the winners and losers of the crisis;
- an overview of new technologies in digital learning;
- a summary of Jane Hart's Top Tools for Learning survey;
- interviews with Neoma Business School's Director of Digital Transformation, the founders of Hérétique, a hybrid collective in search of an alternative digital world, and the CEO of 365Talents;
