Universalunderstanding Compared to the industrial era with static knowledge and overly restrictive boundaries inherited from the last century, today’s hyper-connected and interdependent world has blurred boundaries, abundant information, and hyperdiversity (multigenerational, multicultural, multi-devicing workforce).
