What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done

by Matt Perman

The proliferation of technology has not only increased our daily load of information; it has astronomically increased the rate of change in society and in the world of work altogether. As Tim Sanders notes, “before the information revolution, business changed gradually and business models became antiquated even more slowly. The value progression evolved over decades and double decades. You could go to college, get an M.B.A. and work for forty years, and your pure on-the-job knowledge stayed relevant.”7 Today, however, our skills become outdated more quickly (except for the macro, cross-functional skill of getting things done!). We not only need to keep up with all the information coming our way on a day-to-day basis, but we also need to keep our skills and knowledge up to date with the massive changes that are rapidly occurring at the level of work and society.
