2020: Foresight, Not Hindsight
We all know there is only one constant in this world: change. Nothing exemplified that better than the past year. 2020 has accelerated systemic shifts in the workforce, educational system, and in society. In addition, the growth of new technology, specifically in automation and artificial intelligence, will cause further disruption. The addition of this accelerant to the existing disrupters will cause a transformation that will impact all aspects of work. Rather than sit back and hope, now is the time to prepare for the coming reality. 2020 has given us insight on the coming changes and we now have the opportunity to learn from what happened. We need to be developing the changes to build a resilient and inclusive workforce with the skills needed to be successful. Learn how we can develop the skills that will make you and your organization relevant today and in the future — now is the opportunity for us to evolve our practices and adapt. While it is often said that hindsight is 2020, the reality is that it can actually be the foresight we need.
