Learning Never Stops!

In the years to come, the case for learning with knowledge creation as its primary goal, will be overwhelming. Propelled by the competitive imperatives of speed, global responsiveness and the need to innovate constantly or perish, learning will be the essential hedge against extinction.

Learning must be the dominant responsibility of everyone. Your success WILL come from learning and its application.

Successful organizations will also require superior infrastructure for building, gathering, and disseminating knowledge. These organizations must be capable of delivering strategically relevant information to the right people in real time.

Perhaps most difficult of all, learning means surfacing and re-examing all those assumptions that operate today in your business and life.

Learning is about more than simply acquiring new knowledge and insights; it is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Thus, forgetting is probably at least as important as learning.

Old cultural and psychological habits die extremely hard. Rooting out and challenging obsolete assumptions can expose critical discrepancies between external reality and internal mental models. It is these gaps that provide much of the creative tension and dynamic energy that drives learning.
