Future of Expertise: 10 predictions distilled from 112 position statements are in the event whitepaper. All are invited to take the 5 minute survey and agree/disagree with the predictions, as well as add a short position statement of your own.
The future of expertise encapsulates a wide range of topics.
Industry struggles to hire the adaptive talent needed to keep up with accelerating demand for offerings and to digitally transform operations and ecosystems. Universities struggle to successfully graduate diverse individuals with needed skills, experience, and mindsets to hit-the-ground-running and succeed, even as some question the need for a university education. Governments realize that the sustainable wealth of nations depends on high-skill, high-pay, highly-engaged workers within their borders. Simultaneously, individuals are faced with a dizzying array of “opportunities” to upskill for more pay, but often are unable to decide which path might have the best return-on-investment for their careers and quality-of-life.
New technologies and a host of disruptive existing and impending world events, only add to the complexity of this important topic – the future of expertise.
More than a single skillset (stock of deep knowledge), lifelong learning (knowledge flows) and integration are key to the future of expertise.
Themes include but are not limited to:
- Stakeholder perspectives on the importance of understanding the future of expertise
- The practical challenges of hiring, on-boarding, engaging, and retaining top talent
- AI/Digital Twins and the future of technology-enhanced expertise
- Social networks, platforms, and future of influencer expertise
- Democratizing the process of upskilling and gaining expertise
- Risks and dangers, and how to responsibly build both better upskilling theory and practice
