According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, 94% of employees would stay at a company longer if it invested in their career development. Alex Osborn, the creator of brainstorming, discovered that teams who brainstorm can produce 50% more ideas than those who don’t.
Ever since Oxford’s Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael Osborne published their paper on the potential for jobs to be automated in 2013, a groundswell of concern has emerged about the impact of the various technologies of the 4th industrial revolution might have on the jobs market.
This is backed up by research from the University of Basel, which found that the most important determining factor of success in both one’s education and career was one’s aspirations. Not only have those breathless fears not come to pass but we’re actually in a period of historically low unemployment.
Despite minimal evidence of technological redundancies since the famous paper on the topic by Carl Frey and Michael Osborne in 2013, fears have barely abated in the intervening years.
My friend, Larry Osborne, wrote a great book about the subject. Looking back on my leadership career I’ve done this many times. Surround yourself with capable people of integrity – empower, delegate – and get out of their way and let them lead. I love the imagery of a shepherd as leader. I will strengthen you and help you.
This seems to be the case today, with the infamous analysis from Frey and Osborne also suggesting that professions like nurses would be little impacted by the wave of automation that was set to wash over us. The researchers also found that technology wasn’t negative in a uniform manner.
Indeed, the unemployment rate has remained low throughout the decade since Oxford’s Frey and Osborne ignited the latest wave of concern about the impact of technology on jobs.
The paper takes particular aim at the famous Frey & Osborne paper that has spawned so many of the dire predictions, both in terms of the methodology used when making the predictions, and the evidence to date in the six years since the research was published. Exaggerated expectations.
What was contained on the paper of the plane was part of The Old Man’s story about The Little Prince (Riley Osborne). You may be led to stay in the same organization for your whole leadership career. The Old Man tossed a paper airplane into The Little Girl’s window. She looked awfully lonely, after all.
Linchpin by Seth Godin – This is a simple book, but it is oh so profound at looking at how our work environments, careers, and the way we accomplish things is done these days. He has a way of communicating truth in an understandable way and he does this brilliantly with the vital issue of grace.
Whilst the likes of the Frey and Osborne paper predicted a pretty widespread demolition of 47% of all jobs, the reality is that those with low-skilled, routine jobs are far more at risk. Amid the concern around the automation of jobs, a long-standing truism has perhaps been overlooked.
Oxford University researchers Carl Benedikt Frey shot to public attention in 2013 when he and colleague Michael Osborne released research in which they predicted that 47% of jobs could be automated within the next decade or so.
Companies are offering customizable learning journeys, self-paced modules and personalized coaching sessions to cater to diverse learner preferences and career aspirations. A seminal study by Frey and Osborne (2013) from Oxford suggested that nearly half of all jobs in the United States might disappear within two decades due to AI.
Dean Harris was a wonderful man who reached out to me at different junctures of my college career — giving me sage advice (and reprimanding me when I stepped over the line). He’s a special person in my life. To this day, I can’t think of a month that goes by when I either think or speak these words. Unported License.
One of the fundamental drives that motivates people in their careers and personal pursuits is the need to be distinctive — to leave a mark on the world through personal achievements. But in both situations it’s the group that becomes important, which is perhaps the reason why brainstorming has never fulfilled its original promise.
