Purpose: This summary presents an actionable point of view that will result in tangible benefits for those who apply it to make and implement decisions related to investments in Workforce Development.

Process: Workforce Development was the focus of six 45-minute conversations on December 9, 2021. Each conversation used a consistent lens of “Benchmarking” with stimulus from the writings of Peter Drucker and each had a varying perspective with insight inspired by Open Minds. A guest with expertise was invited to be part of the conversation.

The summary created below from post-Forum dialogue between The Path and Georgia LEARNS Now that leveraged our perspectives on the human side and business side of Workforce Development. It is available to those who ask to receive it to be reviewed in private conversations as requested.

Point-of-View: Workforce Development is a shared responsibility between people, businesses, communities, and educational institutions. While competition, differing values, chance, and execution are mitigating factors – a consistent factor is the choices made by the individual based on the “quality of life” they commit to experience.

In the early stages of our lives – these individual choices are strongly controlled by others. As we mature – the influence of others continues to be present, and we learn how to achieve respect for others while respecting our interests. This maturity of the individual is evidenced by their responses to the near-term and long-term outcomes of their decisions.

In recognition of this point-of-view we recommend that Workforce Development Investments:

  1. Emulate those who have achieved successful outcomes related to “quality of life.”
  2. Decide with maturity which outcomes to emulate. (Benchmark)
  3. Leverage individual strengths to successfully emulate another’s outcomes.
  4. Commit with intention to the trade-offs associated with near-term and long-term outcomes.
  5. Sustain the power of humour to accelerate growth when confronted with fear, uncertainty, and doubt.
  6. Adapt to assure inclusivity as a critical component of sustainable outcomes

To benefit by achieving tangible results from your Workforce Development Initiatives you may choose to:

  1. Participate in a Workforce Development Conversation with The Path and Georgia LEARNS Now.
  2. Request an assessment of your current or planned Workforce Development Investments.
  3. Create a Workforce Development Initiative using the tools and methods of The Path and Georgia LEARNS Now.
  4. Engage with The Path and Georgia LEARNS Now to implement a Workforce Development Initiative.

We are committed to work with you to assure the success of your investments in Workforce Development. Our collaboration with you will develop socially responsible citizens and companies by focusing on an individual's ability to grow their skills and apply the tools they need for business success while improving the quality of their life.
