Adaptive capacity underpins a range of crucial skills required by professionals in the future of work – including:
It is not surprising that adaptive capacity was named the number one meta-competency required by professionals to succeed in the future of work (World Economic Forum). During this short course, world-renowned researcher and distinguished UTS Professor Robert Wood will provide invaluable insight and learning in this field, to prepare you for the future of work.
Adaptive Capacity Series will be delivered face-to-face over two full-days or four half-days here at the UTS City Campus. The short course will include four modules – one for each of the four core meta-competencies that comprise adaptive capacity. You will also be given the opportunity to complete a personal adaptive quotient (PAQ) assessment as pre-work for the course, with debriefing of your PAQ provided during the program.
Personal adaptive quotient (PAQ)
Based on the lifelong research of Professor Robert Wood and developed in conjunction with the research team at the UTS Futures Academy, the PAQ is an assessment tool designed specifically to measure your level of adaptive capacity and associated competencies. This tool assesses the core meta-competencies required to learn, apply technical skills to team environments, cope with disruption to the status quo and extract value from experience. In short, it acts as a measure of success for the future of work.
After completing the PAQ you will receive detailed feedback of your results compared to control groups, along with recommendations for on-the-job development and a personalised development planning document.
Module one - Adaptive leadership
Module two - Mindsets and motivations
Module three - Structured thinking and planning
Module four - Constructive challenge: the critical teaming skill
