Abstract
ABSTRACT The new age business problem solving calls for a multi-disciplinary approach that by and large cuts across business domains. There is a need to build a stable talent pool, especially of the much-needed business-techno consultants to help businesses self-navigate/consult their clients in overcoming the external and internal shocks like the pandemic induced supply chain shocks, attrition, digitization, climate changes and so on. Learning is at the centre in navigating these risks and we try to offer a critical assessment on the future of the skill/learning competencies for consultants to succeed in the Business-techno consulting Industry. This perspective seeks to deliberate on the definition and value delivery from the role of a business-techno consultant along with the critical skills and learning expectations to succeed in the current rapidly digitizing environment
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
