From Fragile to Agile: The Future of Learning and Development
Change has been a constant in business for decades, but these last few years have tested our ability to adapt quickly and thrive amid disruption. Forget any idea of “business as usual.” Smart organizations will lean into how best to build their capabilities to lead within the unusual market forces that currently dominate.
To handle change, organizations are increasingly embracing an agile mindset
Agility is the key to becoming a more resilient organization; companies can remain fragile or become agile. This means discarding some traditional learning approaches and embracing agile learning and development solutions like leadership coaching.
Embrace the Hybrid Future of Work
Even before the pandemic, flexible work environments were growing in popularity; but for many organizations, flexibility remained a perk offered only to certain employees.
Start Building — Not Buying — Skills
During the 1980s and 1990s, when the rate of change was a bit slower than it is today, employers sought the skills they needed from outside the organization through recruiting and hiring. That is no longer the case.
Develop for an Agile Organization
It takes leadership at all levels to truly transform an organizational culture; building an agile organization, then, requires leaders who can thrive in a rapidly changing environment.
