The jobs of the future report stresses 2 two skills you need & human impacts to consider via @weforum | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Maths ability will get you furthest, says Harvard's Davis Deming. As long as you've got the social skills to go with it.

Could a robot do your job? Millions of people who didn’t see automation coming will soon find out the painful way. The answer is a resounding yes. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs study predicts that 5 million jobs will be lost before 2020 as artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology and other socio-economic factors replace the need for human workers.

Farid Mheir's insight:

One important stat from The Future of Jobs report is that the top trend that will drive change in work is new technology and innovation.

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

All jobs will be affected by technology and thus every good digital transformation should include the human disruption and its impact on current and future employees. Too often, we implement digital change and fail to consider people impact.

Look at UBER taxis: their model is to plow ahead and disrupt the market but they have failed to accompany the taxi drivers that are impacted. Because of it they are facing huge head winds from governments and established corporations.

On the other hand, Teo Taxi (Montreal-based) has recognized the people impact and embraced human transformation of the cab drivers which results in much better relationships and less confrontation. Same technology, same process, different human approach.

By 2020, the US economy is expected to create 55 million job openings: 24 million of these will be entirely new positions. And 48 percent of the new jobs, according to Georgetown’s Center on Education and the Workforce, will emphasize a mix of hard and soft intellectual skills, like active listening, leadership, communication, analytics, and administration competencies.

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

The article shows the gitHub contribution profile in the chart clearly shows that Alex is a more constant contributor than Dana and that he may have better skills for a computer programming job. what if if was possible to "visualize" the skills of your employees and prospects based on data and metric such as this one? We would then be in a better position to hire and promote the right individuals based on their true skillset and unbiased data.

Chart shows jobs most likely to be done by robots in the future & what to do about it

Chart shows jobs most likely to be done by robots in the future & what to do about it | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Mckinsey ran a comprehensive study of nearly 800 different jobs in the United States, ranging from CEOs to fast food workers. Between these roles, they found 2,000 individual work activities, and assessed them against 18 different capabilities that could potentially be automated. In their analysis, they found that 45% of work activities representing $2 trillion in wages can already by automated based on proven technology that currently exists. A further 13% of work activities in the U.S. economy could be automated if the technologies used to understand and process human language were brought up to the median human level of competence.

Farid Mheir's insight:

An interactive chart that graphs 800 different jobs along with their automation potential - as estimated by McKinsey.

 

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

If you are in school or just out of school, this chart should be of particular interest. For all the others, this is essential must read tooling when preparing strategy and planning for the future of your business unit, organization - large or startup.

 

Jobs with highest potential for automation represent opportunities for cost reduction, process improvements to reduce lead times, or creation of the automated tools and software that will replace them. For example:

  • medical appliance technicians: 100% automation potential. If you are in this field your business plan should include major shift from human workers to robots. If employees are unionized, look at contract negotiation and employee retraining. If you build medical appliance, ensure your hard-software appliance includes the necessary components to make this automation simple and effective.
  • sewing machine operators: 100% automation potential, 143K workers in the US. Replacing human by robot sewing machine is efficient but will require capital expenditures: has it been forecasted in your budgets? If that throws your business model out of whack, you have to think like a startup and "pivot" your company to a different yet adjacent space such as custom apparel design and fabrication.

And 798 other sources of inspiration.

Potencial amortización #digital del #trabajo según Mckinsey.
Gráfico interactivo que analizar 800 trabajos diferentes.

Concluye que con la tecnología actual el 45% del trabajo se puede automatizar, un 13% adicional cuando las máquinas entiendan el lenguaje humano a un nivel de ciudadano medio.

 Las previsiones son instalar 1.3 millones de robots entre 2015 y 2018
