Not only are we aging,
there workforce will
live longer – a person
in Ireland or the UK
born today has a 50%
chance of living to 100
4. “There will be a global shortfall
of 16 – 18 million college
educated workers by 2020”
11. 75% of the workforce
will be a millennial by
2025 (that is someone
born between 1980
and 2000)
Millennials
12. 76% engagement in diverse
companies
vs
24% in weak diversity climate
Millennials want
engagement, better
technology and
importantly a diverse
workforce
33. In 2011 Scientists turned to
gamification as a last ditch
effort to solve the structure
of the protein that causes
AIDS in rhesus monkeys.
Within ten days FoldIt
players were able to solve a
puzzle that had frustrated
researchers for ten years
Because they had LAND, CAPITAL or RAW MATERIALS..not any more
So it all comes down to ...Talent.
23 million people in Europe are unemployed yet vacancies are on the rise
China – one child policy going to be a big challenge
One child households – different marker for them
The idea od your middle age is going to ave to change
France in real trouble…but it wont affect the politicians wo are making these laws – it will be their grandchildren
Diversity has a positive impact on Employee engagement – 76% engaged vs 24% in weak diversity climate.

Former head of mozilla – the company did not like his anti-gay stance – look what they did…
“He has a right to free speech!”Indeed he does, and he is exercising it. You know who else has a right to free speech? The people objecting to his donation and saying, “I will not work for or with Brendan Eich.” (I strongly encourage objectors to leave the door open to a reversal and apology.) Should our rights of free speech and free choice be abridged instead?

Khadijah Niazi of Lahore, Pakistan, is an inspirational example of how online education is revolutionizing learning. She was only 10 years old when she first took the Artificial Intelligence online course on Udacity. She managed to finish the course and, the following year, Khadijah completed Udacity’s Physics course with highest distinction, being the youngest ever girl to complete it.
Now, Khadijah is 12-years old, and earlier this month she sat next to Udacity founder Sebastian Thrun, Bill Gates of Microsoft, Larry Summers of Harvard, Thomas L. Friedman of The New York Times, and other panelists at the Victor Pinchuk Foundation’s 6th Philanthropic Roundtable, which took place at Davos in conjunction with the World Economic Forum. The discussion aims to show how MOOCs are finding their way to young prodigies around the world and how they are potentially changing the game in educational access.
“I think that MOOCs may allow peace in the world,” she says at one point during the video.
Why is she there. Because the Stanford lecturer put all his notes online and all MIT lectures are online and 1.5 million people has put it online. But he has also out the exam online. 20,000 people did the exam online, the same exam first year software engineering students at Stanford did online. She came first!!
Book by Rita ..end of competitive advantage
In 2011 Scientists turned to gamification as a last ditch effort to solve the structure of the protein that causes AIDS in rhesus monkeys. The protein structure mystery was put on sharing platform for puzzle solvers and it was worked on by more than 600 players on 41 teams, all from the comfort of their own homes.
Within ten days FoldIt players were able to solve a puzzle that had frustrated researchers for ten years. It was the first time that a long-standing scientific problem was solved by scientific gaming participants.
One player nicknamed ‘Mimi’ came up with the final breakthrough. She was a member of a team called The Contenders and a science technician at a high school near Manchester. She had been playing Foldit for about 3 years. More importantly she abandoned the science field due to sexism
She chooses to stay anonymous
Maybe she should not – she is the future of gender in work – a woman working from anywhere on a sharing / collaborative platform who is the best in her field.
Maybe she does need to tell her story and take the limelight to help others do the same
