Fundamental Changes Are Happening in the Workforce

There are many aspects of today's workforce that render traditional approaches to workforce development inadequate

How enterprises are valued is different.  Yesterday's emphasis on "physical capital" has been replaced by "intellectual capital", or put another way, tangible assets are being replaced by intangible assets. 

There is far less reliance on the traditional organizational hierarchy than was the case previously.  Behaviors valued include agility and speed as opposed to the old model which emphasized efficiency and low cost.

Globalization and trans-nationalization have also transformed the workplace.  Skills are now globally available commodities and the “Know-How” of a firm is often widely distributed over many dispersed locations.

How then is it that much of the "education" today still teaches and reinforces the "old ways"?  How do we learn the skills to manage and operate in this new type of organization?

One clue is to look to the folks who can create and deliver learning information in a new "package" and rapidly adapt the changes in our workplace to the course content.  Among the leading online providers, RedVector has positioned itself in this role. 

Leading "hard text" publishers such as Wiley, McGraw Hill, Reed Publishing and others who have provided published content in traditional formats, are increasingly turning to firms like RedVector to put this content online and in a more digestible form, that appeals to todays younger learners.

In addition to being able to provide rapid distribution in changes to teaching materials, learners are able to stay up to date on the latest practices and techniques.
