There is no status quo when it comes to skills. New technologies, new realities and new challenges are arriving at a rapid-fire pace, leaving many previously skilled and experienced people on the outside looking in. That's why many organizations are embracing the need to reskill and upskill their workforce. But what exactly does that mean?

Shelley Osborne, corporate learning executive and author of "The Upskilling Imperative," explains and tells us why the ability to learn is the essential skill every organization and every individual needs to succeed. Interestingly, it's not about a specific skill. Rather, it's about creating an environment where learning can happen.

"When we do it well, and when we create these incredible learning cultures, and set people up to be growing and developing and upskilling, we make the best organizations — the most innovative, creative, interesting, amazing places to work," Shelley said.

Highlights of the conversation include:

• How upskilling is different from reskilling.
• Why a learning mindset is the key to the future of work.
• The core tenets of a successful learning culture.
• How to avoid letting the mistakes of the past define how companies deliver learning in the future.
