This question matters more than you might think. I have used Microsoft Office since Office 97, gaining experience in using, teaching and writing about Excel and Access.
Technology is changing faster than we can keep up. Thomas Friedman explains why this can feel overwhelming. I certainly feel it too! 😊.
The diagram below shows how technological change, driven by Moore’s law,
alongside socio-political and environmental changes, is outpacing human adaptability. As a result, many struggle to keep up, and those who fall behind risk falling further behind.
Rapid technological change and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) raise important questions about job security and adaptability. At 57, I often wonder how I can stay relevant and prepare for the future. The answer lies in continuous learning and skills development.
Consider Microsoft 365. It is no longer just about creating Excel reports or sending emails. Employees must analyse information, choose between Excel and Power BI, collaborate on shared documents and use PowerPoint to communicate insights effectively. Virtual meetings and digital teamwork also require new skills.
I believe anyone can learn with two essential ingredients: understanding what is possible and having the freedom to learn at their own pace. After 30 years in learning and development, I have seen how a simple “WOW! Can I do that?” can inspire growth.
That is why we at LRMG help organisations navigate change through continuous learning. Our approach goes beyond technical training to develop employees as individuals.
We believe in creating a workplace culture where everyone feels, “I belong here,” supported by three pillars: “I can grow here,” “I can perform here” and “I can collaborate for impact here.”
