Recommendation

The Ignite conference offers thought leaders a stage on which to outline their ideas in just five minutes. That’s fitting, since Gary Bolles addresses how to deal with a rapid change: the shift to a digital society. While this format gives Bolles, a disruption consultant, just enough time to sketch the impending changes and ways employees can adapt, it prevents him from tackling these issues in any detail. Bolles’s presentation is nevertheless useful, and getAbstract recommends it to anyone who requires tips on how to secure employment when technology eliminates jobs.

Take-Aways

  • Society typically views life as having three phases: a period of education, a period of work, and a period of leisure or retirement. But this model is obsolete.
  • Technology and globalization are “unbundling” industries and even work.
  • This phenomenon is eliminating midsize enterprises, creating a “fat-bottomed world” filled with innovative start-ups, of which only a few bloom into large corporations.
