Survival requires continual innovation, and at the core is learning faster than everyone else.

Providing generic, platform related information is not too useful. The activity stream turns into an overwhelming flood and people lose control of their information flow. Reaching out to users proactively to find out if they need help is also recommended. Keeping the training materials crisp and to the point is critical.

The key question we (as L&D/HR) need to think of is how are we going to support workplace learning to build such skills in the workforce? The overarching requirement is to develop workers who think for themselves, who can drive their own learning and are not restrained by the norms and processes of the past.
