Heather McGowan (Adaptation Advantage) - Learning in the Human Capital Era

Summary:

I am proud to kick off the second season of the Learn to Grow Podcast with special guest Heather McGowan, co-author (with Chris Shipley) of The Adaptation Advantage. Heather is renowned internationally as a keynote speaker, a regular Forbes contributor, and a futurist outlining how learning and adaptation are crucial to our personal and professional lives.

In our conversation we discuss:

• Why the pace of change is faster than ever…and will never be this slow again
• The three A’s: Atomization, Automation, and Augmentation
• The three questions that show how invested we are in our professional identities
• Why engagement tails off in school, and then the workplace!
• The education to workplace pipeline
• Why we need to add capacity every time we hand off a task to automation
• Digital transformation as a learning-centric culture that leverages data
• Why the conditions in which we create will be more important than our products and services
• Why we all need to ABL - Always Be Learning
