People are now encouraged to think outside the box. Working and learning have become the same thing.
Education is a lifetime occupation, and all types of learning processes are valued.
People no longer train for a particular occupation, because things change so quickly. One learns to become a learner, and this enables one to cope with change in the environment at an ever-increasing pace. The knowledge that exists within people comes from many sources such as experience, values, insights and culture. This knowledge is valued in the working environment as tacit knowledge and becomes explicit. Knowledge is shared and thereby greatly enhanced.
