Knowledge will be outweighed by confident judgment...

Reading through Bob's HR trends predictions today and I couldn't help but comment on one I wanted to hear anyone's opinions on!

"Prediction 4: Knowledge will be outweighed by confident judgment"

Two of the suggestions are:
Invest in cognitive learning. Shift learning budgets toward building cognitive capabilities: critical thinking, judgment, problem-solving, and decision-making.

Use problem-based learning. Incorporate real-world scenarios, cross-functional challenges, and reflection exercises that can strengthen people’s judgment and adaptability.

And I'm wondering, what have y'all done (if anything) on workshopping and creating places for practical application of these skills? As someone who prides herself in "knowing a lot about all the little bits and pieces" I've been actively trying to build that skill into something I can tap deeper into using AI, but I'm yet to find a way to really communicate or share those skills at scale.

Would love y'all's thoughts!
