Been a long time proponent of continuous learning and re-skilling aimed at continuously changing tech and goals. This blog is one aspect of that effort. Below McKinsey podcast talks about the need and efforts involved, as it leads to new kinds of leadership roles.
Redefining the role of the leader in the reskilling era
December 2019 | Article / Podcast
Continuous learning in the workplace must become the new norm if individuals and organizations want to stay ahead. This places more demand than ever on leaders to take on a new role they might initially find unfamiliar—that of learning facilitator-in-chief.
Redefining the role of the leader in the reskilling era
Since 2016, the Consortium for Advancing Adult Learning & Development (CAALD) has sought not only to illuminate the big-picture challenges that the reskilling era poses but also to explore the implications for individual leaders. CAALD—a group of learning authorities whose members include researchers, corporate and not-for-profit leaders, and McKinsey experts—recently held its fourth annual meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut.

That learning can make our methods more efficient to implement, and produce more value. A learning organization adapts to all parts of its environment. That learning can come from academia, publications, consulting, and online resources.
And also importantly from continually retesting our proposed analytical methods, to make sure they continue to be correct under change.
A learning analytics organization also learns from previous projects. that can only happen if they have been well documented, cataloged and made readily available to colleagues. ....
