We’ve entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution, where cars drive themselves, robots are more than a sci-fi storyline, and the line separating biology and technology is increasingly fuzzy.
The future workplace has room for humans, but job roles will be radically different. As automation and AI capabilities eliminate repetitive, manual work, employees will take on new roles with more creative, analytical, innovative activities. In fact, many of the skills organizations hire for today didn’t exist a mere 10 years ago; that means, for children currently in primary school, 65 percent will work in positions that haven’t yet been created.
The choice to embrace the “Skills Economy” is a “change or die” moment for every organization. Fostering a culture with learning and skills development at the core will grant strength and adaptability to meet whatever challenge comes next.
In this year’s opening Convergence keynote, our founder and CEO, Adam Miller, will share how organizations can start to prepare for the emerging “Skills Economy” and how Cornerstone is already innovating to help you handle the demands of this new workforce, including learning, recruiting, employee experience and candidate experience.
