Hello!
My daily life has lot of experimentation and exploration
on digital business models using emerging tech such as
blockchain, machine learning, API etc.

The Future of Work?
What drives future of work?
Your workplace is..
everywhere
Working nine to five for a single employer is
slowly vanishing.
Independent experts are on a all-time rise
From crowdsourcing to ghost writing, translating to
customer service management, you might be
surprised how many different types of jobs are
available
Shift #1
Human + Machine - A
new partnership is
evolving
Automation, advanced manufacturing, AI, and the shift to e-
commerce are dramatically changing the number and nature of
jobs around the world.
In 2017, Google spend approximately $30b for machine
intelligence company acquisitions, research and development
UAE has become the first country to have a Artificial Intelligence
minister
Shift #2
On the internet,
everything is for hire
Sharing economy, also known as collaborative
consumption, is a trending business concept that
highlights the ability (and perhaps the preference)
for individuals to rent or borrow goods rather than
buy and own them.
World’s largest taxi company,
owns no taxi
Largest accommodation provider,
owns no real estate
Fastest growing bank, have no
actual money
Shift #3
Fastest growing bank, have no
actual money
New industries, new
skills, and new
economies are on rise
Technological trends are giving rise to what many
thought leaders refer to as the “imagination economy.” -
“an economy where intuitive and creative thinking create
economic value, after logical and rational thinking have
been outsourced to other economies.”

Work is changing.
The gig economy is growing.
New tech and business models are emerging
AI and robotics are upending the conventional work.
Universities and academic institutions are reorienting to
new practices.

SHANGHAI
Shanghai Natural History Museum. Set in a
park near the Pudong financial district, the
building spirals down, into the earth, like an
excavation of the city’s pre-urban roots
Nautilus Shell shape controls the
heavy traffic of people
Green climate and water systems
supported by 11000 species
Pool that cools the building that
embraces Shanghai’s exuberant
futurism
Rather than having to pick their way
down perilous hillsides, people could
hop in a gondola and soar to a metro
station.
Serves the poor and integrates them
into the city, gives them access to jobs
and other opportunities
MEDELLIN
Medellín’s New Cable Cars Unify a
Fractured City. Medellín is nestled in a valley
high in the Andes, and many of the city’s
poorest residents live in comunas they built
on the steep slopes.

Engineering
_______
Multi-disciplinary
One of the greatest, if not the greatest
engineering feat was the introduction of
electricity.
Its development and deployment have had an incalculable impact on our societies. Just think about how
much blood, sweat, and tears have been saved since its introduction. Work has become easier and our
general standards of living have risen considerably.
As we become more and more dependent on technology, engineers will become increasingly important.
The Engineers of the Future Will
Not Resemble the Engineers of the
Past
James Plummer – Former Dean Stanford University
The future of engineering is
interdisciplinary
It will take us into areas that today we cannot
even foresee
Few examples..
Self Driving Cars

Electronic
Brain Machine
Interfaces
Electrocardiography + Neuro Eng.
+ Computing
Neuralink is developing ultra high bandwidth brain-
machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.

Harvesting the future - Agricultural Engineers
improve the technology and processes that supply

Social Intelligence - Ability to connect with others
in a deep and direct way to sense, stimulate and
absorb right emotions
Computational Thinking - Ability to translate vast
amounts of data into abstract concepts and to
understand data based reasoning
Educating the engineers for 21st century

Finance and
Accounting
_______
New economies are on rise
Accounting is the language of
business
Accountants, analysts and spreadsheet maestros are the
quintessential faces of finance.
Numbers gurus ensure the accurate processing, accounting
and reporting of any practice that has transactions of
monetary value
Finance experts continue protecting an organization’s
financial integrity and shareholder value as the gatekeeper of
a single version of the truth about business performance.
This will never change..

Landscape
There are two factors that
create significant shifts in the
finance world
1. Data Science
and Automation
2. Entry of
digital currencies
A formal discipline that studies protocols that
govern the production, distribution, and
consumption of goods and services in a
decentralized digital economy. Crypto economics is
a practical science that focuses on the design and
characterization of these protocols.
Financial Engineering and Financial Risk Analysis
are two key practices evolving in finance supported
by a series of automation tech
Blockchain is a technology
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency built using
blockchain technology
Cryptocurrency is a digital currency
Cryptocurrency
Hype or Reality?
Fact > The world skips the hype and giving this
asset a fair chance.
Reality > New business models are evolving,
where diverse and multiple industries are coming
together to serve the changing needs of
customers
From hype to
reality, adoption is
faster than
expected
$20B
Average Blockchain

Total amount of
investment raised by
Blockchain startups

Average annual
investment on Blockchain
projects by organizations
$8-12M
Reported potential
annual savings for banks
utilizing Blockchain tech
69%
Percentage of banks that
are experimenting on
permissioned Blockchain
networks
Blockchain is more than just a technology, but
facilitates new types of economies.
Efforts and investments from around the world
reflect how blockchain changes money, business
and world
Influencing the Future of Financial Markets
Global Blockchain’s multi-pronged approach to harnessing the power of
cryptocurrencies allows the company to focus on a volatile and unregulated asset
class while also diversifying enough to reduce its institutional risk
• Crypto Economists – Those who understands the impact
of digital currencies in the current structure and apply
needed policies and regulations
• Digital Assets Risk Analysts – Those who analyse the
risk aspect
One fact.
How governments control money, how companies
make money, how financial markets work, how
individuals can maximize income through
investments, and much more.
Everyone must know the basics of
accounting – How money works? – is
very important in life

Retail shopping is not solely about the transactional experience
any more. It’s about going into a store, feeling the vibe of that
brand and getting that bigger lifestyle out of it.
Products are going to be less static in the future. If you walk into
a retail store, customers could customize their products to
whatever size they want, such as an oversize version.
The creative act of determining and defining a product's form and
features takes place in advance of the physical act of making a
product, which consists purely of repeated, often automated,
replication
A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist,
inventor, mechanic, objective economist and
evolutionary strategist.
