- Focusing on meta-skills that will ensure adaptive capacity, and the ability to respond to increasing turbulence.
- With exponential change, technical skills and best practices have short-lived and limited value. Our

equip them with meta-skills such as curiosity, learning agility, sense-making and adaptive intelligence.
