Purpose

This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

The transforming powers of technology never cease to amaze. New developments continue almost incessantly to the extent that few areas of life remain unscathed for long. Even the most traditional of work environments are eventually forced to leave conventions behind. Education is one such sector. The importance of learning cannot be underestimated and this resonates even more when success rates drop. Failure has serious repercussions in most contexts, but the fallout from substandard academic performance can be catastrophic. Learning and economic growth go hand‐in‐hand. Many studies prove as much. Being able to boast a healthy percentage of high school students who are proficient in core subjects can positively impact on how a nation performs further down the line. Sadly, the reverse is also true. Low scores in skills such as reading, mathematics and science invariably leave their mark and achievement in higher education suffers as a result.

Practical implications

The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.

Originality/value

The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
