The LX Signature: The Coming Capability Crisis with Brandon Carson

The working world is in a permanent state of change. A myriad of disruptors impact business today: hybrid work, workplace automation, technology and tools, multiple generations together, IOT, big data, analytics, mobile/multi-device ways of working, to name just a few. The result is a skills half-life of maybe five years.
The result is a looming capability crisis. A Korn Ferry report found that by 2030, more than 85 million jobs globally could go unfilled because there won’t be enough skilled people to take them. Left unchecked, that skills shortage could result in about $8.5 trillion in missing revenue. McKinsey & Co. says to combat this impending disaster, organizations must build a culture that values capabilities: Critical thinking, for example, social or technology aptitude, or adaptability. Capability-building is what prepares employees to upskill and reskill, innovate, and perform to the future needs of the business.
In this on-demand The LX Signature Series webinar, The Coming Capability Crisis, Brandon Carson, Vice President of Learning and Leadership at Walmart and the author of L&D’s Playbook for the Digital Age, makes the case for why L&D needs to radically reinvent itself in order to meet the needs of the changing workforce — and how to become the visionary your organization requires.
