Case Scenario:
Two themes that recur throughout this course are the importance of questioning our assumptions and updating our skill sets on an ongoing basis. Continuous learning is the reality of work-now and for the foreseeable future. What does this mean to you as CEO of your career? What does this mean to you as a future HR leader? As Deloitte vice chairman Cathy Benko noted "A mere 20% of today's workforce has the skills needed for 60% of the jobs that will be coming online within the next five to ten years."
Your Task:
In your final assignment, you will again report to the firm's Chief Human Resources Officer. Your task is to synthesize what you've learned and make a commitment to your future development.
Specifically, your assignment is to reflect on and translate your learning and intentions into a Personal Knowledge Mastery plan. You may want to review Career Management and conduct additional research to inform your efforts.
