Future-of-Learning
The Future of Learning -- corporate, tertiary, secondary, and primary -- will be different. Of that we’re certain. We have new technologies that enable new possibilities, as well as new business models to make them viable. However, successful businesses and activities are not just built on shiny new toys. They begin with needs. Disruption begins (whether we’re ready for it or not!) when people are paying too much, in money or time. Corporate Learning & Development (L&D) and the education industry are ripe for disruption.
My approach to understanding the future and how to build it draw on both design thinking and disruption. The books and articles below begin with shocking statistics on cost, time, and lengthy debt repayment, showing a clear case for disruption, then examine future skills in the age of AI, machine learning, and robotics.
In this new age, businesses need a new kind of workforce, and workers need to equip themselves to survive and thrive. I examine the future attributes and skills needed (based on information from the World Economic Forum and other sources) and propose a new learning design/model, new business model, and new technologies to make it happen.
Come back to this page as it fills with links for the books (coming soon in 2024!), articles, videos, and more resources. We’re all learning as we go!

These books and articles were produced at S P Jain School of Global Management, which offers degree programs and executive education to craft global business leaders. The organization is known for its innovative approach to education and its leading-edge use of technology — including the proprietary technology it develops:
Disrupting and Design Thinking Education, published by Routledge, (part of the Strategy, Wisdom, & Skill series) available on Amazon
The Future of Learning, a multimedia "living book" for corporate L&D and the education industry, published by Gnowbe
To talk with my digital twin about these books and articles and how you might apply the ideas in your own situation, just visit CJ2.personal.ai and have a “public chat”
What if education operated like this video? It premiered in 1988 at EduCom, the leading higher education conference, in a keynote by John Sculley, Apple co-founder. All the tech was available then, except one thing: the folding screen that wouldn’t leave a crease. What’s holding us back?

VR & digital assistant info. from book launch participant Ryan McClure, Managing Director, TWOMC Digital:
This is BodyMap VR: https://www.twomc.com/digital-twins/dt-xr-medicine. It works on the Oculus Quest 2, 3 the new Oculus Quest 3s. It's very mature now and the biggest use case is actually medical seminars for specialists sharing knowledge. You can host 100 remote users if you have the educator licence. My 14-year old wants to be a doctor and can now draw all of the ventricles of the heart from memory!
Here’s TWOMC’s latest product, ChatBar AI, a patented website scanner that scans your business website and creates a fully trained AI assistant that speaks on behalf of your brand. We set out to create voice navigation for our industrial digital twins solution "DT XR" this past summer, and ChatBar AI emerged from the discussion, so we spun it out as its own SaaS. We’ve seen high adoption and have a patent on the technology, now.
