"Tell me, and I will forget; show me, and I will remember; involve me, and I will understand." Confucius, 450 BC. Our accelerated dynamic world has slowed down for a short while to adjust to the 'new normal' of the Covid-19 pandemic. The existing challenge of educating and preparing the workforce in the early stages of the fourth industrial revolution got an increased attention again. This time it is not only about the upskilling and reskilling, but it also requires an attitude by management and staff to adapt to the changing new chapter in human development. And new requirement on education in management and leadership emerges in this development. Heading for a sustainable result for management, leadership and organisational governance, we highlight the role of cooperative learning and connectivism in developing a resilient workforce in the uncertain present and future. We will also analyse the required competencies, attitudes and skills, the necessary learning environment, method, and strategy governed. Finally, we stress the importance of evaluation in the learning process. This conceptual paper rethinks education and creates a vision for lifelong learning in the new industrial revolution. We also present temporary findings of our ongoing qualitative research delivered in the Netherlands. With an inductive reasoning the authors - with a background both in science as in actual practice-, aimed at offering long-term solutions for a new generation of managers and leaders in our dynamically changing uncertain times, using and developing knowledge and information.
