A Vision for 2030: Meeting Business Demands with Qualified Workers
Our vision for the year 2030 is where the majority of business demands are met with qualified workers.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, digital communication and collaboration are crucial for education and industry to align on a shared vision and take agreed-upon actions to address the skills gap.
To achieve this ambitious goal, we must move away from outdated meeting practices and embrace a methodology that encourages diverse perspectives and enables effective decision-making. Our unique approach combines process design, facilitation, and technology to create a predictable sequence that empowers groups to achieve:
- Mutual understanding
- Alignment
- Shared accountability
- Timely execution of solutions
Facilitating Timely Execution of Solutions
By leveraging collaborative software applications, we enable participants to visualize real-time feedback and engage in facilitated exploration of different perspectives. This approach not only reduces redundancies but also fosters resource sharing and innovation.
At the WebStudy Foundation, we are your ideal partner in implementing technology-enabled convenings. We actively seek to foster partnerships with funding agencies and foundations that support workforce and education organizations, amplifying the impact of our joint efforts.
