Current SLA President Cindy Romaine has kicked off an ambitious new project, called Future Ready 365. In my view (and drawing from the aims of the blog), it's an effort to illustrate and provide a forum for the many voices inside the information profession, and to draw in insight and perspective from across industries. It's an exercise in collaboration, sharing experience, and helping each other be more resiliant and forward-looking in a changing profession and a changing world.
The entries so far have been very good. After I posted my entry earlier this week, I heard from someone who said she wanted to see "more specific examples of how knowledge professionals have transformed themselves with the changing needs of business."
While I can certainly share my own experience - and hopefully I will have a chance to post again this year, but I don't want to take anyone's spot - I would encourage you, if you're reading this, to consider contributing your voice to the blog. How do you see the world changing? How are you adapting to it? How have you transformed yourself and your skills to create new opportunities for yourself?
If you'd like to participate, see the information for submitting a post here. I know I'd be interested in hearing what you have to say!
