What this means for organisations

These are not small shifts as they represent a fundamental change in how organisations need to think about learning, and at the same time, the skills that matter most are evolving.

These are not capabilities that can be built through occasional training programmes. They develop when organisations create environments where people can experiment safely, learn from experience, collaborate across teams, and adapt how they work as conditions change.

A note from Agile Business Consortium

“HR and L&D leaders tell us their people are learning, but the organisation isn't changing. Closing that gap takes more than training - it takes a connected approach to capability, community, and practice. That's what we exist to do.”
