Featured Content: Leading in the New Reality Learn more about shaping the new reality Second, leaders need to establish a foundation for learning that allows the organization to maintain a habit of ongoing digital reskilling and upskilling in order to stay ahead of the next wave of change. Stepping Up the Advanced Learning Game Through our reskilling and upskilling work with companies in the private and public sectors—along with our efforts to help organizations become long-term learners on their own—we’ve found that the ideal learning ecosystem has five core components (see Exhibit 1): * A business-driven learning strategy * A learning culture supported by a well-resourced and agile learning and development function * A personalized library of content for individuals and teams * Enabling technology, which can continuously analyze and assess the programs and their impact * A clear way to integrate organizational learning and potentially foster external collaboration. Today, the success of a company’s learning endeavor relies heavily on adopting the right digital technology across the whole learning journey, including tools that can assess skills, provide live or online content, and offer self-paced discovery and social learning.
