Extreme Times

This was originally intended to be one of my Learning Solutions Mag columns (Quinnsights). Sadly, that platform is no longer an option. Guess this is part of the extreme times! It’s a bit long for my usual posts, but I didn’t want it to go to waste.

Titled The Agility Factor, I think the lessons we wrote about are all the more important now in these extreme times.
