17 Learning and upskilling

 

This chapter covers

  • Introducing new ideas into an organization
  • Upskilling for imminent modernization projects
  • Growing a culture of continuous learning and upskilling

Technological advancements have been integral to human history, constantly transforming our lives and work. From the printing press to the internet, new technologies have disrupted existing systems and created opportunities for growth and progress. However, embracing these new technologies has often required a shift in mindset, as people have had to let go of old ways of thinking and adopt new ways of approaching problems. Following the invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, scribes and scholars were resistant to the idea of printing, as they were used to copying texts by hand. As the benefits of the printing press became more apparent, the mindset toward printing gradually changed, eventually revolutionizing the spread of information.
