This shift underscores the urgency for both individuals and organizations to embrace upskilling as a strategic imperative and to invest in continuous learning and skill development.
In a 2023 survey, 94% of global executives rated Leadership as an essential priority for their organizations’ success. Yet only 25% believed that their Leadership culture is Fit-For Purpose to lead in today’s economy.
