The Chief Twit is, unsurprisingly and as advertised, being a twit. It is hard to look at the sight of the world’s richest person jeopardising his newly-acquired business, his fearsome reputation and an immense fortune, and not think: “Wow.” And not in a good way.

When employees are looking for suitable learning resources, they can often choose from a wide range of contents and formats. This can often make finding learning content that meets the specific requirements time-consuming and inefficient. Technology can solve this issue.
