The “Why” of Hyper-Learning

Why is Hyper-Learning so important? Because it is how we will have meaningful work in the Digital Age. The Digital Age is going to fundamentally change how we work and who works. The continuing advance of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, virtual and augmented reality, quantum computing, and big data will lead to new knowledge creation at a much faster pace, and it will result in significantly more automation of tens of millions of jobs in this decade. Automation will occur in all types of jobs, including professional jobs — law, accounting, management, consulting, medical, and so on. To stay relevant in the workplace, we must continuously update what we know. Life-long learning will be mandatory. That will generate the need for you to excel at Hyper-Learning: learning, unlearning and relearning at the pace of change.
