In today’s tech-driven world, skill development is at risk. How? As we strive to optimize productivity with AI and robotics, we are inadvertently distancing junior workers from seasoned experts across industries. This growing gap is a multi-trillion-dollar problem that has largely been overlooked—until now.
ATD is proud to welcome Matt Beane, author and assistant professor at the University of California Santa Barbara. Matt joins us to discuss key themes in his newly published book, The Skill Code, which reveals the hidden dynamics that fuel successful skill development, given intelligent machines. Drawing from more than 12 years of research across diverse environments, Matt has identified the “three Cs” of skill development: challenge, complexity, and connection. Just as DNA is composed of four essential amino acids, these elements are fundamental to honing your abilities.
Join us for this webinar to gain insights from The Skill Code and discover how to:
