Over 50 years ago, long before majority of today s workforce was born, the social scientist and father of modern management, Peter Drucker, said that a time would come when the ability to think and adapt would become more valuable than physical labour. He stated that information would change the way people work.
We have been in that time for over two decades now, but it is evident today that in order for organisations to sustainably compete, the ability to learn, unlearn and relearn is key. This is an era where employees are sought after for their ability to think, solve problems, create, and innovate. Experts with the most emergent, agile and adaptive thinking ability are sought after as they are better aligned to the dynamics of the environment.
