Culture for an Agile Tech Workforce

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about seismic shifts in the global economy leaving many IT business leaders struggling to transform their organizations in response. This harsh lesson in the value of agility drives home the need for a workforce that continues to upskill, evolve, and drive innovation.

Learning in the post-pandemic workplace was the subject of the panel, “Preparing for the Future of Work with a Learning Culture,” held during CompTIA ChannelCon Online 2020, and moderated by Peter Busam of Equilibrium Consulting. Busam and the thought leader panelists outlined five takeaways for building an agile workforce.

Busam and the panelists discussed the connection between agility and learning culture. Kristine Stewart of Channel Impact pointed out that a learning culture inherently promotes agility because “it supports an open mindset, with a quest for knowledge, and that learning is directed towards the missions and goals of the organization.”

For a learning culture to develop and thrive, leaders need to “walk the walk”, not just “talk the talk.” Leaders should practice transparency and authenticity in their own learning paths, communicating how those paths connect to their personal growth and the goals of the business. Stewart added that, “culture set by those at the top of a company.”
