My framework is based on three dimensions of learning. The
cognitive (and traditional) dimension of learning relates to the acquisition of
knowledge, skills and understanding. The intrapersonal dimension is about how
we interact with that learning and the interpersonal dimension with how we
learn from other people and from our environment. In today's ever-changing environment all three dimensions
are critical.
Professional competence is a given for many of us but my
framework also includes a third layer thatreflects the ongoing and lifelong nature of learning. Adding the five elements of career
adaptability to my framework results in the complete professional,
someone who is not only competent but also continually learning in response to
their environment.
