The workplace is going through a large-scale transition with digitisation, automation, and acceleration.
Critical skills and expertise are imperative for small, medium and large companies and their employees to succeed in the future, and the most forward-thinking companies are being proactive in adapting to the shift in the workforce.
Kelly Palmer, Silicon Valley thought-leader from LinkedIn, Degreed, and Yahoo, and David Blake, co-founder of Ed-tech pioneer Degreed, share their experiences and describe how some of the smartest companies in the world are making learning and expertise a major competitive advantage.
To help people become experts - to help them gain knowledge, build skills, and become lifelong learners - it's critical that we understand how adults learn best.
Today, we know more than ever about how the human brain works and how people learn most effectively.
In ‘The Expertise Economy’, writer Kelly Palmer argues that as the future of work changes, skills and expertise - not credentials - will be the most important asset a company and its employees need to succeed in the New Economy.
Skills are the currency of the expertise economy, and the most successful companies are already thinking about how this will apply in a world where people are living and working longer. Gone are the days when a three or four-year degree guarantees job security and the skills to stay relevant for an entire career.
The Expertise Economy dares you to let go of outdated and traditional ways of closing the skills gap, and challenges business leaders to embrace the urgency of re-skilling and upskilling the workforce.
