An overview of influencer that inspire me daily when reading the newest trends on digital transformation. Feel free to add your favorite influencer on this list. I personally have no influence on the ranking - a neutral algorithm calculates who has the most impact online. So all fame and blame belongs to the algorithm.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the list provides a great starting point to get a shot of digital transformation leadership. The focus being mostly on technology, you should look elsewhere for impact on society, work, and life that digital transformation brings.

LinkedIn’s 2017 U.S. Emerging #Jobs Report concludes that technology skills and soft skills are key for today's job market

LinkedIn’s 2017 U.S. Emerging #Jobs Report concludes that technology skills and soft skills are key for today's job market | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

It may come as no surprise that technology-centric roles stole the show among emerging jobs in the United States, but the prevalence of machine learning and data science roles and skills indicate a shift in the types of technology we can expect to be using in the near future, as well as what professionals should be preparing themselves for.

Having an academic background and a comprehensive suite of skills were also strong trends, especially among professionals who are now machine learning engineers and data scientists. Both of these roles are also often held by professionals with 10 years or more of professional experience, so for those just starting out and having trouble landing one of these titles, don’t be discouraged!

It’s always a good reminder that soft skills will always be important, no matter the profession. The ability to collaborate, be a leader, and learn from colleagues will stand out in interviews, and even more once starting a job.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the conclusion of the study is simple: go to University and study something related to technology. Simple, no?

Impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on Supply Chains HT @JimMarous @MikeQuindazzi @wef #banking #AI #IoT #robotics #blockchain #wearable #AR #Analytics #voicefirst

Impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on Supply Chains HT @JimMarous @MikeQuindazzi @wef  #banking #AI #IoT #robotics #blockchain #wearable #AR #Analytics #voicefirst | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Disruptive technologies are transforming all end-to-end steps in production and business models in most sectors of the economy. The products that consumers demand, factory processes and footprints, and the management of global supply chains are being re-shaped to an unprecedented degree and at unprecedented pace. Industry leaders who were consulted believe that new technological solutions heralded by the Fourth Industrial Revolution – such as advanced robotics, autonomous systems and additive manufacturing – will revolutionize traditional ways of creating value. As the costs of deploying technology continue to fall, international differentials in labour costs will no longer be a decisive factor in choosing the location of production.

The resulting greater spatial and temporal flexibility brought about by technology will bring locations of production and sale closer together, and drive major changes in the design of future value and supply chains. These trends will change the shape and form of globalization, and thereby impact the trajectory of goods. Regional and local flows will become more important, to the detriment of intercontinental trade.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: the world economic forum keeps putting out great reports on the impact of digital transformation. I love the illustrations, great summary of key trends and their adoption. Must read.
