b"Here\\u2019s a question that\\u2019s fascinated me my entire professional life: How might technology change the future of Learning and Work? But actually, as I finally figured out only a couple of years back, the more important is WHY technology change the future of Learning and Work. That insight is what eventually led me to set up both The Learning Futures Group and this podcast, which has now hit over 50 episodes in just over a year. And what I\\u2019ve Learned in that journey is what I am starting to try and feed back to you guys in this special season of the podcast, which is where I am trying to \\u2018Connect The Dots\\u2019 and map out some provisional findings from my conversations with CLOs, edtech pioneers, Learning Scientists and thinkers out there. In this second episode in the run, I return to what sparked my personal journey\\u2014the arrival of Microsoft\\u2019s third CEO into my life\\u2014as well as relevant soundbites from just a few of the great people we\\u2019ve met so far. So, welcome (or welcome back) to \\u2018Season Eight:' with an overall theme of \\u2018Connecting The Dots,\\u2019 our aim is to move slightly away from our interview format to a more \\u2018radio feature\\u2019 audio style, where we are pulling together insights gained from all of our conversations and research to scope out what L&D needs to do to catch up with Our New Normal, starting with: another stimulating clip from super-inspirational MS\\u2019s Satya Nadella on why he led the charge to move from a \\u2018Know-it-all\\u2019 to a \\u2018Learn-it-all\\u2019 culture (and why that freaked me out!); what some of our podcast guests are worried about; a scary look into a workless world, which is already here for a big part of young Humanity (hint: William Gibson\\u2014The future is already here, it\\u2019s just unevenly distributed); and much more."
