common digital network.
Most significant future transformations in work

No one will take care of you!
The Turbulence of the Workplace
“Our CEO told us we were like One Big
Family….I did not know he meant the
Sopranos”
———Anonymous High level HR Executive after
massive layoffs in Fortune 500 Company due to Missed
Target of Quarterly Profits
Artificial intelligence will transform most
jobs and transform the expertise and skills
sets that were success factors
Future Impact of Artificial Intelligence
To Navigate Your Career
you will need continuous: learning
systems and skills, building your own
professional brand, expanding network of
professional relationships
Cloud, Analytics, and Social Networking,
supported by Artificial Intelligence, will
mean that almost half the jobs today will
be radically transformed within the next
five years.
Service: Mass Customization based on
Personal Co-Creation will drive the next
innovation wave
Google Driverless Car
Prepare yourself for the coming turbulent
transformation in the workplace so you
can navigate a career to suit your
purposes and not just be tossed about
rudderless.
Make a Job or Take A
Job…Do both in your career.
