Key signs of learning
addiction: Are you afflicted?
Delivering a keynote
session at PMLnDIN, Greg Orme identified the key strategies of fostering a
culture of continuous learning. Diving into the captivating realm of learning
excellence, Greg Orme, Author, Facilitator, and Coach, explored the five
symptoms of learning addiction in an insightful session titled 'The Heart
of Change: The Human Edge in Transformation' at People Matters
L&D India ConferenceKickstarting the keynote, Greg identified his passion
for learning by quoting Cicero: "If you have a garden and a library, you
have everything." How to identify you have an addiction to learning?
To identify learning
addiction, Greg pointed out key factors saying, “As learning addicts, we may
exhibit certain symptoms:
1.
If you have a towering stack of books waiting to be
devoured
2.
If new knowledge starts appearing everywhere in
your life,
3.
If you constantly connect new information with what you
already know,
4.
If you feel the urge to experiment with freshly acquired
knowledge,
5.
If you secretly relish long-haul flights as an
opportunity to catch up on reading.”
Sharing his
experience, Greg added, “Over the past decade, I've collaborated with diverse
industries, each grappling with the impact of artificial
intelligence, data deluge, fast computing, and digital transformation. The
recurring narrative in these organizations is the need for a new strategy,
organizational transformation, and a shift in leadership mindset and skills.” Referring
to his book, Greg says “The main question revolves around the skills required
in a world dominated by artificial intelligence. In essence, my conclusion
remains pertinent: Don't compete with machines; differentiate with your human
edge. This is more relevant than ever, as machines become increasingly
proficient, encroaching into white-collar domains. The book identifies four
superpowers - Creativity, Collaboration, Consciousness (equivalent to
purpose), and curiosity.
