The Future of Learning -- corporate, tertiary, secondary, and primary -- will be different. Of that we’re certain. We have new technologies that enable new possibilities, as well as new business models to make them viable. However, successful businesses and activities are not just built on shiny new toys. They begin with needs. Disruption begins (whether we’re ready for it or not!) when people are paying too much, in money or time. Corporate Learning & Development (L&D) and the education industry are ripe for disruption.

My approach to understanding the future and how to build it draw on both design thinking and disruption. The books and articles below begin with shocking statistics on cost, time, and lengthy debt repayment, showing a clear case for disruption, then examine future skills in the age of AI, machine learning, and robotics.

In this new age, businesses need a new kind of workforce, and workers need to equip themselves to survive and thrive. I examine the future attributes and skills needed (based on information from the World Economic Forum and other sources) and propose a new learning design/model, new business model, and new technologies to make it happen.

Come back to this page as it fills with links for the books (coming soon in 2024!), articles, videos, and more resources. We’re all learning as we go!
