As an #SFIA Accredited Practitioner and Customer Success professional at SkillsTX, I have the privilege of educating clients on SFIA methods and practices and training users on the SkillsTX tool. Our goal is to enable faster adoption and value realization of SFIA for organizations. One key insight I’ve gained is that when individuals, teams, and organizations embrace a skill-centric culture, there’s a tendency to strive for perfection or to become “the best.” However, this pursuit can be a trap—there is no such thing as a perfect or best practice. In his book Think Again, Adam Grant highlights how labeling a practice as “best” creates an illusion of finality that can stifle innovation and hinder adaptation to change. Believing we’ve reached an endpoint leaves no room for improvement. A better approach is to view personal and professional development as a continuous journey. By consistently practicing SFIA skills through various activities, we are constantly learning and evolving, applying better ways of delivering results. There is no one best way—only better ways. Embracing this mindset means approaching skill development with humility – being open to unlearn and relearn. We progress from knowledge to proficient to competent, understanding that as skills evolve, new knowledge and practices are required to reach higher levels. It’s an ongoing journey of growth. How do you embrace continuous learning in your professional journey? #SkillsTX #OwnYourSkills #PassionForPotential #GrowthMindset #SFIA #ContinousLearning
