A Learning Platform to Develop 21st Century Transferable Soft Skills
20th century legacy includes fixed mindsets, organisational hierarchies, bureaucracy slowness and risk aversion. All this negatively impacts creativity and processes that results in slow improvement.
Individuals, teams and organizations are not keeping up or ready for the critical changes.
We discovered that most of us want to spend more time on meaningful work and work with teams that are engaged in making that happen. Projects where our skills and practice strengths are working well together that encourage us to learn, improve and thrive.
This is a book about how we can take ownership of ourselves, our team and our organisation by taking micro actions to shape the desired culture and behaviours to insert meaning into what we do.
