In times of digitalization and a constantly changing world of work, continuous development and the acquisition of new skills are essential. This is particularly important in light of the increasingly crucial cooperation between humans and machines, which raises the question of where humanity finds its place in this utopia.
To not only survive professionally in this world, but to be successful, requires acquiring skills and abilities that will be in demand in this future world of digitalization and that are compatible with the ever-increasing presence of machines and artificial intelligence. Integrating these innovations into one's own production will become increasingly important for entrepreneurs and established companies alike, and requires a forward-looking and attentive perspective on the impact of current developments on the coming decades.
In today's world of rapid technological development, companies must remain agile to fully leverage this change with all available resources. This also requires a specific mindset regarding the process of technological advancement. A deep understanding of technology and a certain degree of foresight are becoming increasingly valuable for companies and should be key criteria when recruiting employees. Anticipation and technical understanding are becoming increasingly important attributes for both entrepreneurs and employees.
However, this foresight must not result in vague speculation, but rather be based on facts and be as predictable as possible. Predictions of changes in the business world and technological advancements should be as precise as possible. This is, of course, not an easy skill to acquire, and precisely for that reason, it is a valuable and increasingly important skill in the professional world.
A very specific mindset is becoming increasingly valuable for entrepreneurial success in the future world of work: Technological understanding combined with entrepreneurial thinking are attributes that will be required of innovators in a constantly digitizing world. This includes, among other things, a solid understanding of mathematics, strong programming skills, and detailed ideas about how successful business models function in the digital world.
Das Jobportal Stack Overflow hat kürzlich eine Statistik veröffentlicht die sehr schön veranschaulicht wie schnell sich die Anforderungen von Unternehmen in Bezug auf Programmiersprachen im Vergleich von 2015 zu 2016 verändert haben und verzeichnet die grössten Zuwächse für ReactJS, Docker, Ansible, Apache Spark & Sys Admin. Die Prozentual grössten Rückschläge mussten AJAX, Backbone.js, LAMP, Apache & JQuery hinnehmen.
This illustrates very well how rapidly requirements in the modern working world can change and thus suggests a need for attentive, constantly educating, technologically skilled employees.
Die Digitalisierung schreitet unerbittlich voran und wird diejenigen zurücklassen, die nicht mit ihr Schritt halten. Doch wer seine Geschäftsmodelle stets durch Innovationen verbessert und anpasst und diese durch neue Technologien unterstützt wird gute Karten in der Welt der Technologisierung haben.
