In the book, the Adaptation Advantage, the authors talk about how to navigate the future of work without robots taking over - and how we must lean into unique human attributes - like being able to adapt- to succeed and do well. It's a noble cause and over the Covid WFH transition, we started to grasp the technology that became available to us - without letting technology own us.
But technology is moving at a rate. Do you remember the good old days, when you were less reliant on your phone to plug in? Well, think about the scale change forward. Change will continue to move exponentially. The way that we need to address ourselves individually and collectively is to capitalize on the extra time that technology brings us. The message that will inevitably play out is a move from a what to a why, especially when we think of our jobs. Creativity will help you elevate to different spheres of purpose. You'll become more agile - and you will be constantly learning. And this is because of advancing technology.
As technology evolves, the tasks that you undertook before will become easier or be taken over - and a new sense of purpose will be established. In a PWC survey in 2019, 77% of CEOs said they couldn't find workers with uniquely human skills - creativity, problem solving and leadership. And in an environment where human skills ar important, it's important to keep culture and capacity as central areas - it's not just about the numbers
