Harold, one sentence jumped out from your excellent post: it’s not really the future of learning we should be concerned with, because it is merely a symptom of the future of work. I wonder if enough of us in L&D recognize this fact? It’s no longer about us – if it ever was. It’s now about how we serve the workplace as it rapidly evolves. My one concern – if L&D does not keep pace with the changes you describe, others will do so and what we have offer will be ignored.
