Empowering Dyslexic Thinking in every workplace

Future workplaces will depend on Dyslexic Thinking skills – that’s what the research from the World Economic Forum tells us. But that future is here – it’s now. 

AI can’t replace the soft skills that every organisation needs like innovation, lateral thinking, complex problem solving and interpersonal skills – and these are Dyslexic Thinking skills.  

But 62% say they need to learn more about Dyslexic Thinking. And over two thirds say they need tools to help them. That’s why we’ve created free training available now on LinkedIn Learning.
