“We have all that we need
to create what we want
because all the resources
we need are in our minds”
Theodore Roosevelt

 The median number of years a U.S. worker has
been in his or her current job is just 4.4,
 down sharply since the 1970s.
 This decline in average job tenure is bigger
than any economic cycle,
 bigger than any particular industry,
 bigger than differences in education levels,
 bigger than differences in gender.

 Associated with a new era of insecurity,
volatility, and risk
 It's part of the same employment picture as the
increase in
 part-time, freelance, and contract work;
 mass layoffs and buyouts;
 "creative destruction" within industries.

put more pressure on the individual
to provide own health care
bridge gaps in income with savings
Manage own retirement planning
invest in own education to keep skills
marketable and up to date.

Measure the big drivers of change
such as extended longevity, robotics, and the
rise of global connectivity
Extrapolated a list of core skills
will be needed in tomorrow's workplace
regardless of industry or position

"everything that can be routinized, codified,
and dissected will eventually be done by
machines.
Social and emotional intelligence is what
humans are uniquely good at
at least for the next decade or two."

Growing Global Challenge
Mismatch Between Skill Sets and Jobs
Now powered by technology
Fueled by information and knowledge
Shift from industrial to a knowledge economy

 Global youth unemployment (ILO)
 2013 – 12.6%
 2018 – 12.8%
 Jamaica – 16%
 Spain, Greece & South Africa – 50%

 Trust
 Collaboration
 Teamwork

 Today uncertainty rules the market,
 changes are abrupt
 yesterday’s market conditions are different to
today’s.
 Creative thinking,
 the ability to innovate,
 deal with complexity, ambiguity, and paradoxes
 prepare for more than one scenario
 critical for future success.

 Digital and technology skills are not only nice to have,
they are a necessity.
 workplace automation and human-machine
dependence
 a workplace where human-machine collaboration and
co-dependence is the norm.

 Cross-cultural understanding and communication
 global operating skills such as
 the ability to manage diverse employees
 understanding international markets
 ability to work in multiple overseas locations
 foreign language skills
 cultural sensitivity
 will be increasingly in demand over the next 5 to 10 years.

 The ability to innovate
 “self-starter”
 “risk-taker”
 “visionary”
 someone who “spots opportunity”
 You don't need to own a business to be an
entrepreneur,
 but you do need the entrepreneurial mindset to
be successful in business.”

 Businesses today operate in two time frames,
 the immediate and the very long term,
 the ability to manage contradictions will be critical.
 This requires finding new ways of working together.
 Major barrier to engagement is trust
 must be central to the thinking of future leaders.

Learn
new skills
every
5 years
Change
career
every
10 years

most of the jobs
getting
displaced
 low-level, low-
skilled labor
positions

 One of the major reasons for Jamaica continuing to be poor is
because
 we have not succeeded in unlocking the entrepreneurial
productive capabilities of the majority of our people.
 To a large extent our socialization mantra for the majority of our
people has been and still is –
 "Go to school, study hard, pass your exams then go
beg a job".

 who have started business have done so
unwillingly, as a second option,
 many times because they were fired.
 Many of these reluctant business persons do not
aspire for their children to come into the business
to expand it
 or to start on of one of their own.

 They often do not even socialize the children into the
workings of the business.
 They continue to preach the same mantra to their children.
"Go to school, study hard, pass your exams
then go beg a job".

 they now wish that the children make it into the
professional class.
(Ideally something ending in 'er').
 This has not been the situation for the ethnic
minorities who have run businesses
 and have socialized their children to continue to do just that.

 Many years ago I had a very important conversation with the patriarch o
one of Jamaica's business families.
 I was directing a project to align the cultures of the hospitality resorts
over which he presided.
 I wanted to understand what were some of the critical forces driving the
family business.
 He told me a story about his children, who on completing High
School being desirous of going to college,
 even though it was understood that they would be coming into the family
business.
 This was not a concern because he had gone to college.

 The 'problem' arose when upon completing the degree, they
wanted to go on to Graduate School.
 One child wanted to study finance while another wanted to study
marketing.
 His biggest concern however, was for the one who was talking of
'becoming' an accountant.
 He wondered where he had failed.
 This drove him to arrange a meeting between the 'misguided'
offspring and the grandfather who carefully explained to the
grandson;
 "You do not become an accountant, you hire an accountant."

 How many of Jamaica's ethnic minority business
families have had similar conversations with their
children over the decades?
 They have been socializing their children to own
the means of production.

 What proportion of the Black majority has
heard any such admonition?
 We have serious work to do if we are to release
the creative, entrepreneurial and productive
capacity
 of the mass of our people.

 in his inimitable way,
 long ago reminded us that the foundation
of the Jamaican economy was created by
the bottom third of the class (room),
 those with less academic achievements,
that left school and went out and created
businesses.
 They then hired the top third of the
class to run those businesses.

 is that up until today the majority of Black Jamaicans'
main aspiration is to get a job in one of the industries
run by the ethnic minorities
 or to get a "safe and secure" job in the Government service.
 This process has not significantly changed.
 Many Jamaicans of the Black Majority cohort still hold
these aspirations.

 It is no longer muscle of the masses toiling in the cane field and
factories that drive the economy.
 It is now brain power driving intellectually based enterprises that
powers knowledge based economies.
 The requirement today is for the top third of the class to go out
and create the jobs for the rest of the class,
 if Jamaica is to be able to evolve into new economies that runs the
world.

 had a different dynamics than we do
today.
 The realities of the global, regional and
especially the national economy
 is that job growth has been disproportion to
population growth.

 In the book "The End ofWork" Jeremy Rifkin predicted
from as far back as 1995 that
 many of the low skilled and low paying jobs would shift to
China once they became part of theWTO.
 "Mr. Chin" will work for $1 per day and a bowl of rice,
Jamaicans will not

the original purchase
money that was paid for all
things. It was not by gold or
by silver, but by labour, that
all wealth of the world was
originally purchased.

 In any year Business Format Franchises report a
success rate of 95%
 in contrast to the 50% failure rate of new
independently owned businesses
 Where 80% of all businesses fail in the first 5
years,
 75% of all Business Format Franchises succeed!

Innovation Starts With
Disruptive Hypotheses
(LukeWilliams)

 is an intentionally unreasonable statement that
gets your thinking flowing in a different direction.
 …are designed to upset your comfortable
equilibrium and bring about an accelerated change
in your own thinking.

 The ability to ask,
“What if?”
 is an essential
part of every
thinking person’s
skill set

 you have been socialized towards the
more traditional definition of
“hypothesis,”
which is a best-guess explanation that’s
based on a set of facts and can be tested
by further investigation.

 You don’t make a reasonable
prediction
 Such as…
 if I charge the battery, the phone will
work.
 Instead,
 you make an unreasonable
provocation
 What if a cell phone didn’t need a
battery at all?
 You education to date has been
predictive –
 You were socialized to
 “see things as they are and ask,
‘Why?

time to dream things as they never were
and ask…
‘What if?’

when certainties are no longer certain,
the ability to imagine things as they never
were and ask
“What if?”
is an essential part of every thinking
person’s skill set.

Our pathological politics?
Our anemic economic model?
Our CRIMINAL justice system?
Our sick Health care?
Our Education system which has failed
the majority?

Once you have a situation to focus on,
describe it in one sentence:
“How can I disrupt the present reality by
delivering an unexpected solution?”

 is to start provoking the status quo.
 Try to find a way to rearrange the pieces,
which in turn will provoke a different way
of looking at the situation.
 What CanYou Invert?
 What CanYou Re-Think? (Dare to Dream)
 What is scarce that could be made abundant?
 What is abundant that could be made scarce?
 What is expensive that could be free?

you should be able to generate several
provocative hypotheses
that will challenge the established way of
looking at things

 radically new scenarios,
 Ask unconventional questions,
 and discover unexpected
advantages.
 The general rule is that
 the bolder your “What Ifs,”
 the fresher the perspective they
offer.

Facilitates Foresight
 The Single Most Critical Skill for
the 21st Century
 Foresight is...
 The Secret Ingredient of Success
 Critical to achievement in all areas of your
life.

 the key to survival in a world of disruptive
innovation.
 enables you to see opportunities,
 avoid threats, and chart the fastest path to your goals.
 People who lack foresight
 are likely to find themselves unemployed
 when jobs are unexpectedly lost
 to new technologies,
 competition from overseas,
 or shifts in consumer tastes.

 Trends and Breakthroughs Likely to Affect
You
 Will you be
 The Leaders,
 Observers,
 Passengers
 or Left behind?

 1.Your Generation could Have the
most far reaching Impacts on the
world
 having a stronger entrepreneurial bent than
your parents did.

that bend light around objects.

Computers will utilize human-
level artificial intelligence
Electric Cars will Become Fully
Practical by 2020

 The next Green Gold will be
Biofuels made from algae

 and become the Leaders,
 not just Observers of these global trends.

 But …

There are 3 components of Law of
Dharma:
1) Each of us is here to discover our true
and higher self.
We must find out for our self that inside us is
a god or goddess in embryo that wants to be
born so that we can express our divinity.

 2) Express our UniqueTalents.
 This expression of talent takes us into timeless awareness
which is certainly will make you happy and joyful.
 3) Service to Humanity.
 Ask yourself “How can I help all those that I come into
contact with?
 When you combine the ability to express your unique talent
with service to humanity, then you make full use of the Law
of Dharma.

To Raise the (spiritually) dead
Heal the (Mentally and Physically) sick
