For this week's discussion, I'd like for you to view the video, GE's Journey from Crotonville to BrilliantYOU. Crotonville (NY) is the site of General Electric's global leadership development institute. However, in the past, only 30% of the company's professional employees were able to participate in classes onsite. To remain at the forefront of a increasingly digital future, GE had to expand learning and provide development opportunities for the more than 300,000 employees in more than 180 countries around the world. This video discusses the evolution from Crotonville to BrilliantYOU, the company's new, digital learning model and experience platform. Additionally, you can learn more about GE's employee development opportunities here: GE Careers and Development.

Briefly describe the types of development that GE provides its employees. Why do you think they invest so heavily in employee development? What are your thoughts regarding their approach? Further, discuss GE's need to revitalize their approach and the importance of addressing the needs of the current workforce.
