Throw out the old, ...

The principal at my daughter’s school made the observation that many kids in the class would end up in jobs that don’t exist today.  That is probably true, so what skill set do you try to teach the kids?  Obviously there are basics like language, basic math, etc.  But many employers complain that kids come out of school ill equipped for the workplace.  I would venture that learning how to learn, flexibility and not just an ability to embrace change, but also an ability to lead change would be worthy objectives.

 

But if the types of jobs are changing ever more rapidly, so are existing jobs.  And that includes the risk management profession at least as much as any other.  So are your risk managers content with today’s established practices?  Or are they constantly discussing and testing out new ideas to become tomorrow’s risk mangers?
