                              Summary:

                              Does learning happen in the flow of work for reskilling? How does psychological safety support learning? Will the 70-20-10 model stay relevant as the future of work evolves?

                               

                              My interview with Charles focused on how psychological safety is the bedrock for continuous improvement, performance and reskilling initiatives. Reskilling requires a different approach to learning in the flow of work. We also discussed how investment in learning tech could be helpful if focused on applying skills and providing performance support. The L&D teams must move beyond content, build more context in the design, and use AI to bring the learning environment close to the working environment. We discussed the 70-20-10 model and how it can make learning effective and relevant.

                              Summary:

                              Will the future of work be more decentralized and autonomous? What does that mean for organizations and people? Trust will become the cornerstone of what we do online and offline. That will also require new and different skills to operate.

                              My interview with Diana focused on her digital transformation experiences and how they impact organizations. We explore how some of the concepts of Decentralized Autonomous Organisations could be applied to traditional work models and their implications. Upskilling in strategic areas and the need for the agency will become even more critical as the world of work evolves.
