There’s power in being empowered…Are you ready?
Covid-19 has accelerated the pace of the adoption of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies. And, even more so when it comes to empowering individuals through relevant and meaningful training. So, what does this really mean? In keeping with our promise to maintain the highest standards and provide a consistent, valuable customer experience at every touchpoint, we are perfectly poised to empower individuals to reach their greatest potentials in a changing world.


The ‘new normal’ therefore ushers in a whole new paradigm shift both in the way we work and the way we live. There is a greater need to improve our skills in many developing disciplines that involve: 

  • Interpersonal skills such as leadership, emotional intelligence and managing conflict
  • “Soft skills’ such as creativity, critical thinking and creative problem solving

An excerpt from one of our recent articles sums up the situation perfectly:

“COVID-19 is Responsible for Accelerating the Pace Adopting 4IR Technologies and the Need for Creative Problem Solving In light of recent events, it goes without saying that COVID-19 is responsible for accelerating the pace of the widespread adoption of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies. It is estimated that more than 7 billion people worldwide have been subjected to severe restrictions of movement during phases of lockdown in the past few months, and systems that have for decades resisted change are now forced into going virtual. Businesses from all economic sectors are applying creative problem-solving techniques in ways never seen before and are developing new technical solutions using digital technologies and revamping their business models at a rate that would have been inconceivable only months ago. This brings to our attention the fact that 4IR technologies are now crucial to our very survival. 

Human Creativity is Driving 4th Industrial Revolution Technologies 

So, what does creativity have to do with any of these things? For starters, we need to bear in mind that while 4th Industrial Revolution technologies are fast becoming the way to go in the world of the “new normal,” they are driven by something far superior to robots—human creativity. And in recent times, humans are applying their creative problem solving skills to using these technologies to kit us out for survival in the new era. 

Understanding the Importance of Human Creativity in the 4th Industrial Revolution 

According to The World Economic Forum, Deloitte, and McKinsey, creativity is in the top 3 most sought-after skills needed to survive the 4th Industrial Revolution since it is a cognitive skill that simply cannot be automated. In fact, McKinsey estimates that it is now even more important than complex information processing and interpretation, as well as advanced literacy and writing skills, in that the demand for skills involving a high degree of creativity is anticipated to increase by approximately 14 percent in Europe and 19 percent in the United States in the near future. The 4th Industrial Revolution brings along with it a whole host of new technologies and sophisticated products, and as a result, changes in the workplace to such an extent that will require both creative thinking and creative problem-solving skills. 

Creative Thinking: Creative thinking involves generating original ideas and unique ways of solving problems. 

Creative Problem-Solving: Creative problem solving is concerned with solving issues that pose numerous possible solutions and how to determine the best way forward given these different variables.”
