Last year, we ran a blog series on Reimagining Learning in which our team defined six learning behaviors—acquire, experience, collaborate, reflect, master, and convey—and identified how physical space can support them. As companies are increasingly looking for people who can do things like communicate clearly, solve complex challenges, lead teams and define strategic direction, a growing number of learners are turning to any resource where they can learn these skills quickly, effectively and in sync with their busy lives. Thus far these skills have been taught in-person, but today many online resources are successfully teaching them in an entirely digital environment.

As an example, Northwestern University is running a course series called Organizational Leadership via Coursera that equips leaders to “lead in an ever-changing business environment.” The curriculum centers on developing skills that are not only critical for leaders at all levels of organizations but for any professional growing in his or her career – skills like storytelling, communicating, vision definition, conflict resolution, persuasion, design thinking, ideation and team management.
