The next decade is going to be a wild ride, and I am so ready for it! Yes, we’re facing some tough times trying to keep up with the rapid pace of new technologies, but the incredible impact these innovations will have on our daily lives is mind-blowing. Unfortunately, is major change also often accompanied by angst and uncertainty. This has already started, and we already see clear social and corporate stress and pain! I believe that all workflow and repetitive oriented jobs will eventually disappear. This will add up to massive restructuring and reskilling of major workforce segments! Don’t despair, at the end it will be good for society, and job opportunities but the transition to a more Agility oriented system will be hard for many. It is hard to plan for certainty when everything around is uncertain!
The explosive growth of AI applications alone is enough to get anyone’s heart racing with excitement and fear. We’re living longer, healthier lives, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds and be part of this amazing journey!
