- The Importance of Continuous Learning: Candice Mitchell emphasizes that innovation requires continuous learning and development (L&D). Companies that fail to invest in their employees' development will fall behind and lose market share by 2025.

- Steps to Make L&D a Strategic Advantage: Candice outlines five practical steps: aligning L&D with business goals, prioritizing future-ready skills, building a continuous learning culture, leveraging technology and personalization, and measuring and communicating the business impact of L&D initiatives.
- The Cost of Neglecting Employee Development: Neglecting L&D leads to high turnover costs, decreased productivity, and the expensive need to hire external talent. Investing in your employees now will pay off significantly in the long run.
