Technological Advancements And Societal Changes Are Driving The Need For A Shift In Mindset As Well As In Skillsets

If you're a leader, you're probably thinking about what skills the future workforce will need and how to prepare your people for it. One term you may have come across is "shifting skills." But what does it mean, and how does it fit into the bigger picture of future skills?

"Future skills" is a broad term that encompasses the forecasted skill sets that the workforce of the future will need to thrive in the face of constant disruption. "Shifting skills" is a subset of future skills that focuses on how the basic building blocks of a job, or the individual skills that make up a role, are changing and will continue to change in the future. Shift in skill sets is not just about learning new skills. It's also about shifting mindsets to embrace and adopt new skills. As society advances and technology evolves, we will see more shifts in skills required for various roles.

And, one of our customers, who was at the World Cup final, bought a vuvuzela and presented it to our chief executive officer, Roshan Thiran, as a gift. Roshan presented it to his team at Leaderonomics and it wasn’t long before it was put to mischievous use. You see, pranks are part and parcel of the Leaderonomics culture. It is one of the first things employees learn when they join the company – we have an official prank set up for them as part of the orientation process.
