This is the message that John C. Redding, executive director of the Institute for Strategic Learning, brought to Katharine Cornell Theatre on April 2 as part of a program organized by the University Services Human Resource Development Advisory Committee.
Technology is a key force that has impacted the changes that are occurring.
Individuals and organizations must expend their efforts and energy thinking about the capabilities that are going to be necessary tomorrow. Redding made a number of recommendations to help the university in its efforts to become a continuous learning organization. He said it needs to learn from its diverse experience and make responsibility for learning part of everyone's job. Advanced technology and computer systems, he said, are a vehicle for that learning. Leadership is crucial to becoming a continuous learning organization, Redding said.
