Recommendation

Traditional educational institutions and many business leaders are proving slow to respond to digitalization’s educational demands – resulting in massive skill shortfalls in the workforce and severe implications for organizations’ competitiveness. Education consultant Michael B. Horn’s alarming article for MIT Sloan Management Review describes both the crisis and some bold emerging solutions, and also speculates about the future shape of education in a digital world.

Take-Aways

  • A shortage of skilled workers is forcing employers to take education into their own hands.
  • Amazon is preparing to spend $700 million to train a third of its workforce.
  • Digital transformation in education is creating new alternatives for talent development.
