DESCRIPTION OF THE TALK 

In the field of human resource development, the continued acquisition of new skills and knowledge is one of the essentials in becoming-and remaining-a competent professional.  Carl Rogers (1969) has said that “the only man who is educated is the man who has learned how to learn...how to adapt and change; the man who has realized only the process of seeking knowledge give a basis for security.”

Today’s unprecedented rate of change in the business world has prompted HRD professionals to rethink the competencies that are required to keep them relevant, responsive and ROI-conscious.
