Chanel 3.8 ★

Context:
RETAIL EVOLUTION AND BUSINESS PRIORITIES: Learning should adapt with retail changes, be relevant to
business and be able to support business priorities and drive towards business results.
LEARNING THROUGH PERSONALISED ENGAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY: Learning should be
shifted from mass training to providing customized learning solutions and individualized coaching, so as to
create an impact on BAs in building personal connection with the clients.
MEASURING EFFECTIVENESS: Learning should be monitored and consistently measured its effectiveness to
ensure the strategy and approaches are in place to drive business outcomes.
INVEST IN PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT: As one of the CHANEL differences, Learning should at the same time
support people development by identifying individual potential and development needs, providing solutions
and opportunities to develop, motivate and retain talents.
