Redefining the future of work amid digital disruption, change
Add BT as a preferred source
WE ALREADY have an idea of how digitalisation, and above all, new technologies like machine learning (ML), big data analytics or IoT, will change companies' business models and are already changing them on a wide scale.
It's natural for people - even young digital natives - to feel some growing uncertainty from the rapid technological adoption across industries. According to a Randstad survey in 2018, 80 per cent of Singapore's workforce are positive about the opportunities digital technologies will present. About 57 per cent are aware that they need to develop their skills to keep up with these developments.
How many of today's jobs will exist in the future? Which human activities can be taken over by machines and will there be new types of jobs in the future that we can't even imagine today? Now's the time to examine more closely how different facets of the workplace will look, and the role humans will have.
