Tried & True - and some new things too

Great piece from McKinsey's Quarterly highlighting the pressure on, and opportunity for, Corporate Learning & Corporate Universities as the speed of business accelerates and technology allows us to better enable and innovate in the space.   

"Corporate academies are poised for change on the order of magnitude experienced a century ago, when they developed from low-level workshops into mature institutions. ... expect corporate learning to change significantly within the next three years—both the capabilities imparted and the new agility required to match the faster pace of business.... Achieving the next level of change—akin to the revolution that Amazon brought to retailing—will require a nimble balance between digital and physical platforms, cultural messaging and technical content, and real-time and actively shared learning. The sudden emergence of a more digitally engaged generation and the stepped-up pace of technological change suggest that time is of the essence."
