I already use TED Talks at my company. What is different about TED@Work?
We’ve talked to hundreds of learning leaders who love TED, to understand their needs for more specific curation and for elevating TED Talks from inspirational videos into actionable learning objects. They also wanted to use TED Talks to seed meaningful discussions. We built this product based on that feedback. TED@Work aims to improve the way people, teams and organizations work. Using TED Talks for corporate learning is a use case that requires a license according to TED's usage policy, and TED@Work also enables compliant use of TED.
