What happens when the way your company works changes faster than its people can learn?

Recorded during the rapid shift towards remote working in 2020, Peter Boolkah reflects on how quickly established working practices were overturned and why waiting for everything to return to normal was never a viable business strategy.

Peter discusses moving strategic planning sessions from the meeting room to video, the limitations of early remote-working arrangements, the rapid development of collaboration technology and the personal commitment required to keep learning.

You’ll discover:

• Why businesses cannot rely on established ways of working forever
• What the sudden adoption of remote working revealed about organisational adaptability
• Why strategic planning cannot stop when external circumstances change
• How rapidly evolving technology creates continuing learning demands
• Why choosing one piece of software no longer guarantees years of stability
• The challenge of finding sufficient time for professional development
• Why Peter was dedicating approximately nine hours a week to learning
• How changed working habits can create permanent changes in a marketplace

For founders, the episode raises an additional question: can your company learn and adapt without every new development first passing through you?

A founder-dependent business learns only as quickly as its founder. A resilient business turns learning into an organisational capability.
