Not sure how I missed this one, but as they say, better late than never. In March Fast Company posted an article outlining the 17 reasons why they believe we are entering the Decade of Learning. The 17 are listed here, but the full description for each of these is available at the Fast Company site.
- Top-Line Innovations
- Disruptive Technology
- Competitive Pressures
- Increasing Speed
- Beyond Commodity
- Virtuous Circle
- Emerging Markets
- Industry Change
- Industry Consolidation
- Brain Drain
- Failing Grade
- Return to Growth
- Future Jobs
- Knowledge Workers
- Leadership Vacuum
- Culture Change
- Unanticipated Conditions
You owe it to yourself to read this one. Great article from Sam Herring, cofounder of Intrepid Learning Solutions.
What do you think? Are we entering the “Perfect Storm” of learning? Are technology, industry and business needs set to combine to create a golden age of learning organizations?


Thanks for the post Chad! I look forward to reading comments and reflections from others on the idea of the “Learning Decade”!
