The Skills Conversation: Reinventing Absa’s Learning Strategy with Udemy

Session Summary

In today’s rapidly evolving, AI-driven world, learning and leadership are no longer separate conversations – they are two sides of the same coin. To thrive in the future of work, organisations must not only build the right skills but also develop the right leaders who can unlock them.

At Absa Group, this reinvention is already underway through the Dynamic Skills Strategy – a future-ready approach designed to ensure every colleague is equipped with the skills and mindsets needed to lead, adapt, and deliver impact.

Through its partnership with Udemy, Absa is democratising learning, scaling access, and creating personalised, on-demand learning journeys that connect directly to business outcomes. Together, we are embedding learning in the flow of work, linking it to measurable impact, and building the leadership capacity to navigate the future.

Join us on November 11th at 11:00 AM BST for The Skills Conversation, featuring Nadia ten Cate, Group Leadership Lead at Absa Group, and Arielle Gannon, Strategic Customer Success Manager at Udemy.

We’ll explore how Absa is:

Defining its skills strategy with Udemy, setting the goals for reinvention and leveraging the partnership to democratise learning and scale impact across teams

Building a learning culture through forums, campaigns, and leadership initiatives that connect learning directly to business outcomes

Preparing for the future of work by embedding skills development as a strategic driver of growth, reinvention, and talent development

Positioning leadership and management excellence as core enterprise skills – ensuring every colleague, regardless of level, can lead self, lead others, and lead change
