New Yorkers were surprisingly receptive to my message. Weather permitting, I plan to repeat this walk once a week for the foreseeable future. I …

The people economy, the human capital marketplace, is ~70% of the US economy and yet the mechanisms for educating, training, credentialing, hiring and managing people are antiquated and ripe for disruption. How people learn, are recognized/rewarded for that learning, and maximize that learning and knowledge in the right role are inexorably linked, and yet too often discussed separately. For example, exciting innovations in self-directed learning are much less valuable to people if they have no w …
