In their new book – The Future-Proof Workplace: Six Strategies to Accelerate Talent Development, Reshape Your Culture, and Succeed with Purpose – L. Sharkey and M. Barrett suggest the following areas: Leadership, Culture, Purpose, Relationships, Diversity, Technology, Workspace, and Learning.

In the latter – Learning, they suggest that today’s workforce needs new skills at the pace of technological innovation.  Future leaders look to nano-degree programs (which are much faster than the traditional 4-year format) and rapid non-traditional programs to train staff.

Lesson-Up training plans provide rapid non-traditional instruction on a wide variety of skills needed on-the-job.
