Continuous Learning and Innovation Support


Professional continuous learning is now a survival skill. Technology is predicted to replace 25 percent of U.S. jobs, replacing routine tasks in nearly every field, sector, and discipline, including technology fields. While continuous learning is part of our everyday lives, adult learning and continuous improvement are necessary skill to stay relevant it the modern digital workplace and is required for success and career growth.

Twenty-two years of agile software development has proven that organizational learning and a culture of continuous improvement has shown that beyond the initial stages of transition to agile, benefits and gains will still be realized as long as individual and organizational learning thrive. Scaled Agile's House of Lean and the Agile Manifesto both espouse that a growth mindset is the key to success at both levels.


The LACE's learning catalog and other learning services support the CCSQ Community in ongoing learning and innovation at the enterprise, program, team, and individual levels.
