The work, workers, and workplace of the future is undergoing a dramatic transformation and with this change, our learning habits are evolving.

Interview with Sahar Ramy, Senior HR Business Partner at World Bank (Middle East & East Africa).

Change has been a constant in human history, but there are two new characteristics that define change in the XXI century: speed and disruption. In today’s world changes are much faster than ever before and also significantly more drastic. One of the main impacts of living in a world of fast and disruptive change is that professionals/managers not only need to increase their agility to adapt and react, they also need to develop a mindset for growth. In other words, we all need to become creative to be not just “good followers” but good explorers. To go from being disrupted to becoming disruptors.

It is rare that the life-span of any business averages a hundred years or more. There are across the world, especially in Europe and Japan, a few companies that have survived across many centuries. What have they done right? They, organically, learned that business development and sustenance are looking way beyond the trees and the jungle but to see a world and universe that is extremely complex and in a constant state of flux. They have learned to make the right and the long-term decisions by looking through dynamic systems and leading from a future that is constantly emerging.

Watch interview with Mehmet Baha, Founder at Solution Folder.

In today’s workplaces, more often than not, people feel stuck, uninspired, and bored. They look for a sense of purpose and validation; wanting to be seen and heard; and to know that their contributions make a positive difference. People want to feel valued, visible, and vibrant.  Not for the sake of attention, rather because they want to know that their skill sets are relevant and that they are meaningful in advancing the organizations they serve.   Human resource professionals must manage high expectations with limited resources to fulfill on what matters most to the enterprise.
