Change in the workplace has never been more rapid. There is no 'long-term' in today's working environment - the concept is dead. It is predicted that we will no longer have careers, but a series of jobs. Shortly, half the workforce of the developed world will be working outside an organisation. Only the adaptable will survive. We must react to that change by being flexible and open to learning new skills. In this shifting world of work, our current job would be considered as one route to gaining skills and knowledge in preparing ourselves for the next one. As digitisation and automation grow, we can expect a significant impact on employment and skills in the decades ahead, at all levels and in all sectors. As smart machines take over rote, regular manufacturing and services jobs, there will be an increasing demand for the kinds of skills which machines are not good at. These are higher-level thinking skills that cannot be codified. We call this sense-making skills, skills that help us create unique insights critical to decision making. Socially intelligent will be a vital skill for workers who need to collaborate and build relationships of trust. Key How will work and job change in future due to digitalization?
