Megatrend **#22** - Cross-Disciplinary Specialists: "The greatest competitive advantage isn't knowing everything - it's knowing how to learn anything."- Futurist Jim Carroll

(Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series on 30 Megatrends, which he first outlined in his book Dancing in the Rain: How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times. The trends were shared in the book as a way of demonstrating that, despite any period of economic volatility, there is always long-term opportunity to be found.

The highest career value is increasingly found at the intersection of previously distinct careers, knowledge, and skill sets. Hybrid expertise that combines technical, creative, and human skills will continue to command a significant premium in the talent marketplace. No one can know everything there is to know, but knowing how to get that knowledge is a key success factor!

The future is hybrid! You don't need to know much anymore - you just need to know how to know it! Not only that, but you need to know how to know many different things.

Makes sense? Let's dig into the trend of the 'hybrid workforce.'

Futurist Jim Carroll explored the early signs of this trend in multiple chapters in his 1997 book, Surviving the Information Age.

Megatrend **#21** - Career Obsolesence and Creation: "As technology redefines work, our most valuable skill becomes our uniquely human ability to learn, adapt, and create."- Futurist Jim Carroll

We are witnessing the simultaneous elimination of traditional roles and the emergence of entirely new professions. Organizations that can navigate this transition, focusing on re-skilling existing talent while attracting new capabilities, will have extraordinary advantages. The trend is being accelerated to a ridiculous speed as the impact of AI takes hold.

It's "The Great Rebalancing" of the global workforce, and here's the full PDF report.

pdf.jimcarroll.com/Megatrend21

We all know that jobs and careers are changing, but do we know how much? And how fast?

Hint: It's bigger than you think, and will happen faster than you are prepared for.

We've all become familiar with this trend, but suddenly, with the arrival and acceleration of AI, the speed of the change is now picking up the pace. What we thought might have been decades away - the disappearance of many careers and the rapid emergence of new careers - will now take years rather than decades. What's happening is this: there are now several simultaneous, accelerating trends at work involving demographics and technology:

- a demographic crisis in developed nations (a shrinking workforce)
- this creates a powerful incentive for technological adoption
- labor shortages are counteracted by AI productivity gains
- resulting in a desire or need to accelerate AI adoption to maintain economic viability
- which fundamentally challenges society to reskill the human workforce to effectively collaborate with machines!

How big a trend is this? Let's quantify the crunch. There are a tremendous number of studies and reports, but one rough estimate suggests that between 2025 and 2030, we will see:

- 170 million new jobs created globally
- 92 million existing roles displaced
- That's a net increase of 78 million jobs (a 7% expansion)
- This "labor-market churn" equals 22% of today's employment
- This means that early 1 in 4 existing jobs will be part of this massive rebalancing!

So what do you do?

Buckle up! Get involved! Keep learning!

@MaxG
I will read in full in just a moment, but straight off the bat, the ‘pollster’ correctly confess this is an ‘estimate’ in their first paragraph. They estimated that the workforce (employed and unemployed, 14+ though no upper limit is stated) grew over the last month. They do not cite where they got those figures from either.

And then, in the next para, they tell us that the workforce grew due to more getting employment? What? Makes no sense to me whatsoever. #Workforce growth can only occur due to #immigration numbers and those who happened to turn 14 that month.

See where I’m going with this? Bad start if these guys wish to gain my trust.

But in discussing the RBA reasoning for a pause on the cash rate, it is only relevent to talk about the #RBA (and financial markets) definition of full employment because it is an agreed definition with which to base a discussion of the RBA’s monetary policy.

Yes, it’s a realtive thing and definitions matter. And if I were to discuss the unemployment situation, other statistical definition would be used to truly reflect how many poeple are not employed ( and I’d be using ABS Census results for that — if I were)

I agree with you, too many are #unemployed and the social programs inadequate… bring on #UBI. i say.

A striking new Forbes article by Bernard Marr reveals that by 2030, a staggering 70% of skills required for the average job will have changed completely.

This isn't about what's "left" for humans after #AI —it's about what's "possible" with AI for humans at work.
