The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. – Alvin Toffler

SKILLS TO SUCCEED IN A VUCA WORLD

Given the new realities of work, the sheer magnitude of human knowledge, globalisation, and the accelerating rate of change in technology, what people learn as well as how and when they learn, is changing.

The VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) nature of today’s world have put employees under pressure to acquire and develop new knowledge and skills to stay relevant. They are expected to be agile and responsive. They need to make quick decisions and work collaboratively. They must be able to think critically and develop actionable insight.
