Innovative Education and Learning Practices Organizational Learning and Leadership Education and Work Dynamics

Abstract

In this chapter, I shall suggest that, in understanding their relationships in the contemporary era, work and learning can proﬁtably be placed against the background of wider societal and even global shifts. I shall suggest that we live in an age of supercomplexity. That is to say, we live in an age in which our very frameworks for comprehending the world, for acting in it and for relating to each other are entirely problematic. We live in a world characterised by contestability, challengeability, uncertainty and unpredictability.
