Will 2020 mark the beginning of a new era of Roaring Twenties?

In 100 years we have moved from the 2nd through to the 4th Industrial Revolution – Will 2020 mark the beginning of a new era of Roaring Twenties?

In 2020 we live in a world populated by more I-phones than people.  And 100 years ago, after World War 1, the economic boom of the Second Industrial Revolution saw people working in factories and on farms where the only form of social media was the ‘wireless’ radio against a backdrop of the Charleston Dance, Jazz music and women wearing Flapper dresses.  Such were the Roaring Twenties.

Today, while we still listen to Jazz, we no longer dance the Charleston.  But, there is a lot more to the job market than factories and farming and with technology leading the way there are critical skills that we all need to develop to meet the demands of the new era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Get the Roaring 2020’s going with these top insights:

  1. Embracing the ‘gig economy:  Today’s workforce is composed of more contractors and freelancers than ever before.  This is known as the ‘gig’ economy.
  2. Working remotely:  Thanks to mobile technology more and more people are working remotely.  Gone are the days of the traditional office.
  3. Humans working alongside machines:  Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms and intelligent machines are coming into the workforce as co-workers alongside humans.
  4. Developing a culture of lifelong learning:  As technology continues to evolve so humans will need to evolve.  This is where everyone is required to adapt their skills throughout their working lives.
