Global Value
The whole value chain needs to be aligned, engaged, and define a common set of global values to co-solve important global issues.
A global value set involves individuals sharing similar values, aspirations, or lifestyles, leading to a collection of social groups with unifying ideals that go beyond geographical limitations. Global professionals today need to articulate a set of clearly-defined values that they can bring to the table, present a fitting mindset, attitude, and behavior consistency in conveying those values consistently.
Some key aspects include:
-Evolving Definition of Culture: Culture is seen as a changing set of ideas, attributes, and expectations influenced by people reacting to changing circumstances.
-Human Rights: These are rights that individuals possess simply by being human, due to inherent vulnerability, or as a requirement for a just society. Human rights encompass a wide range of values and capabilities aimed at enhancing human agency and protecting human interests, and they are considered universal.
Key points on how global values relate to culture: Global values and culture are related in that the sharing of similar values, aspirations, or lifestyles among certain individuals leads to the formation of elite groups with unifying ideals that surpass geographical boundaries.
-Culture Defined: Culture is now viewed as a dynamic collection of ideas, attributes, and expectations that evolve as people respond to changing circumstances.
-Cultural Relativism: Increased knowledge has led to a deeper understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Recognizing that universal needs can be met through culturally diverse means has led to the view that each culture should be understood and appreciated in its own context.
Local vs. Global Culture:
-Local Culture: Local culture describes daily life experiences within specific, identifiable areas, reflecting feelings of comfort, appropriateness, and personal preferences. Despite global networks, local communities remain significant to most individuals.
-Global Culture: Some believe a basic version of world culture is developing among people who share values, resulting in cross-boundary groups whose shared ideals go beyond geographical limits.
The global world is diversified, and value is a multi-dimensional concept. The whole value chain needs to be aligned, engaged, and contributing so customers and stakeholders get their fair share, define the common set of global values, and co-solve important global issues.

Personalized Training
Personalized training involves ongoing evaluation and adjustment; continuous reassessment of individual progress; real-time feedback provided to learners and instructors; learning paths adapt based on performance.
The trends in global talent development reflect a shift toward more inclusive, flexible, and technology-driven personalized approaches. Organizations can create training programs that effectively unleash each individual's unique potential while driving overall performance. The idea of individualized and integral training and education emphasizes tailoring educational programs to respect each person's unique personality, talents, abilities, and cultural heritage.
Personalized learning, a form of individualized learning, uses technology to customize educational materials to meet a student’s specific requirements. This method utilizes learning analytics derived from student data to determine the most effective learning style for each individual, adapting the curriculum accordingly. For instance, if a student learns better through videos than textbooks, the curriculum will incorporate more videos. By adapting to individual needs, adaptive learning ensures that students are not left behind, which can have lifelong positive consequences.
Education differs from indoctrination: Education involves philosophical problems and tasks that have occupied philosophers of education throughout history. A much-debated question is how education differs from indoctrination. Indoctrination is a form of teaching aimed at getting students to adopt beliefs independent of the evidential support those beliefs may have, based on methods that instill beliefs in students in such a way that they are unwilling or unable to question or evaluate those beliefs independently, or causes students to embrace a specific set of beliefs without regard for its evidential status. Critical thinking strives to base beliefs, judgments, and actions on the competent assessment of relevant reasons and evidence.
IT-enabled Training Solution: Virtual reality and holographic technology can give students a more immersive educational experience by creating three-dimensional images of people, places, and objects. Through holograms, students might be able to view education programs to fit their tastes. The almost limitless capabilities of holographic technology can make learning more fun and exciting and increase the amount of information students are able to absorb and retain on a given topic. In this way, holographic technology makes an effective complement to virtual reality in terms of instructional content and stimulating student interest.
The benefits of using virtual reality (VR) in training include:
-Cost and Safety: VR simulations can provide training equal to or nearly equal to practice with real systems, but at a reduced cost and with greater safety.
-Real-time control systems: VR allows for immersive, real-time control systems for research, training, and improved performance.
-Abstract models and data: VR systems can represent abstract models and data, where visual accuracy is less important than immersion and feedback that engages all the senses in a meaningful way.
Personalized training programs are customized to meet the specific needs, goals, and learning styles of individual learners or organizations. Personalized training involves ongoing evaluation and adjustment; continuous reassessment of individual progress; real-time feedback provided to learners and instructors; learning paths adapt based on performance
