How to succeed in a world of constant change

NEW WORLD – NEW SKILLS – WORKING AND LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD

In a turbulent world, agility of action and thinking and generating new solutions to old problems are key to stability, progress, and growth. Digitization, re-organization, portfolio diversification: today’s digital world is characterized by complexity and speed.

Media organizations and corporations are transforming their workforces to drive productivity, innovation, and growth. Too often, there is a discrepancy between the skills people have and those needed for jobs in the digital world. Upskilling is key.

Upskilling means not only adapting to the new world but also anticipating the right skills for the future, laying the cultural background for a learning organization. The formula for competitiveness is proper (re-)orientation and knowledge.
