Digital Learning Experience of Exponential Organisation Employees: The Race Against Obsolescence

Abstract

The chapter explores how digital disruption in the form of social, mobile, analytics, artificial intelligence, data analytics, the cloud as well as internet of things, is impacting learning. The chapter also explores how learning practitioners may respond to avert individual obsolescence and shortened corporate longevity. The chapter discusses the organisational conditions and learning capabilities, competencies and learning culture that will enable not a race and battle against the smart machines, but rather a constructive collaborative augmentation which will enable sustainability despite massive automation, deskilling of knowledge work and redefinition of professions.
