A new world, a new set of skills.
Can transformative skills be an answer for the enigma we live in?
Even before COVID-19 everybody was talking about a new normal; one that we experience to the fullest but have not yet defined or made sense of properly; one that in the last decade has been commonly referred to as VUCA world.*
Within this framework, our education system, our way of working, our talent management, our purpose and the skills we need to invest more on … every tiny little things related to organizations is being rethought.
How to make sense of it all?
Ekskaret Foundation’s white paper “On the becoming of concious co-creators” by Christin Mellner presents a literature on what they call “transformative skills” and breaks down these skills into five clusters:
Openness
Perspective seeking
Sensemaking
Inner compass
Compassion
The author elaborates on the features of the transformative skill-set and discusses how they can be of use for navigating in the VUCA world.*
