What an amazing year 2019 was, not only personally with some fantastic speaking engagements around the world, but also in the technology industry. We’ve seen some sensational developments with technologies such as AI, robotics, advanced healthcare and alternative energy sources — but we’ve also seen some steps backward, particularly with respect to cybersecurity and privacy. It has shown that sometimes, we can develop great technologies, but the logistics of them becoming mainstream are more difficult!
With all the advancements taking place, we need to take responsibility for learning more about what this truly means from both a business and personal perspective — especially when it comes to our privacy and careers.
Many workforce changes will take place due to rapidly advancing technology developments — we’ll see new jobs emerge, existing jobs change in function, as well as the removal of outdated job functions. In many industries, we’re already seeing people working side by side with robots and making more use of artificial intelligence. It is an exciting era and changes are taking place at a great speed. It truly is time to keep updated and that’s where I come in! You can keep yourself in front of the pack, by keeping abreast of my recent research here.
