JeffreyMills,
I can absolutely see some orgs leaning heavily into the model for the Capability Architect, as Articulate describes it.
Other organizations will embrace the model after doing some internal housekeeping, e.g., aligning their tech stack, workflows, business processes, and job descriptions, etc., to match this "new way of working."
Finally, there will be enterprise learning teams that will not adopt this vision. That's okay too, it isn't for everyone.
The things I've shared with IDs in my LinkedIn network are to invest heavily in their ID insight, with a tool-agnostic mindset...
- judgement,
- critical thinking,
- collaboration,
- effective communication, and
- facilitation skills (to name a few).
The value of skills NOT tied to software expertise will explode as the landscape continues to shift, and tools become even more capable of carrying the learning design load.
