Even five years ago, I don’t think any of us could of possibly imagined the

following…that:

• The worlds largest taxi company owns no vehicles

• The worlds largest accommodation company owns no real estate

• The worlds largest Retailer carries no inventory, and the

• The world’s largest Media company creates no content!

Ubiquitous, mobile supercomputing. Artificially-intelligent robots. Self-driving cars. Neuro-technological brain enhancements. Genetic editing. The evidence of dramatic change is all around us and it’s happening at exponential speed. Previous industrial revolutions liberated humankind from animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital capabilities to billions of people. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.

Digital technologies are fundamentally disrupting business and operating models. These dramatic transformations have had a profound effect on the types of workforce skills demanded by organizations in both the public and private sectors.

To gauge current skills challenges and assess future needs, the IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) in cooperation with Oxford Economics surveyed more than 5,600 global executives representing 18 industries and 48 countries, including more than 800 executives from a variety of government organizations

But this change brings more potential than risks for humanity. If we accept

that we need to change and learn new skills we will increase our chance to be

successful and make the world better place to live.

Human And Machine – you can develop and make better AI and robots of the

future. You will work with machines to make you faster, stronger, more

accurate.

Power Of Data, Power Of People – you will be able to use Big Data and

Augmented Reality to do your job effortless and with great accuracy

New Solutions – you will have the time and opportunity to create, develop

and innovate the future

Mindset Shift

I strongly believe that these innovations will make industry — and the world —stronger and better.

We’ll have the knowledge, the talent and the tools to solve some of the world’s

Every business will rely on Big Data, Cloud and Blockchain solutions

+ Half of the IT companies footprint will be in cognitive solutions and software

platforms business

+ The mix and interconnection between technologies will continue to shift with

exponential growth

+ These new technologies are embedded into and enrich the IoT world

+ All is underpinned by increased Security requirements

Looking at where we are now and where we’re headed towards, There are many common themes that have stuck with us over the years, but ask yourself, what's IBM of the future?

Every profession in every industry in every part of the world is changing, simultaneously. What matters most in today’s workforce is having relevant, in-demand skills.

Roles in some of the technology industry's fastest growing fields - from

cybersecurity and cloud computing to cognitive business and digital design –

Do not always require a traditional four-year college degree

Critical technologies like cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and cloud computing are pushing the limits of traditional job recruiting, forcing employers – especially in the technology industry – to shift mindsets and explore new sources of talent to address our clients’ needs.

Enterprises are increasingly turning to Multi-Cloud Environments

16

Responsible for IT infrastructure solution construction, implementation, systems integration and/or management. Tasks performed require integrating hardware, software and network solutions in Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and legacy IT infrastructure environments.

17

The Cloud Enterprise Developer will learn to develop and migrate applications to an enterprise hybrid cloud environment. This will require skills in cloud application migration, such as Cloud Foundry, Docker, Java Application, and APIs. The Cloud Developer will use tools to Migrate, Integrate, and Secure Applications on the cloud.

The world is being reinvented with code.

With the common adoption of more devices, there is now more information for

us to harness– if we know how to understand and use it.

This code is connecting pipelines of data and integrating APIs- using the

plethora of data now available.

This is the core of the API economy—and every business can take advantage

of it.

Enter Cognitive….solutions that understand, reason and learn, while interacting with

humans. What do I mean by Understand, Reason and learn?

Understand: Two key attributes define understand. First, the ability of a system to navigate the

complexities of human speech– understanding the idiosyncrasies, colloquialisms and knowing the

ways we would express ourselves to one another. This is not an easy task. We say things like,

“This morning I got a haircut.” This could reference the barbershop, OR a bad financial trade. The

second attribute is being able to put content into context- not search and keyword– but actually

bringing forward relevant, actionable content.

Reason: There are very few times where we, as humans, are presented with information that is

useful WITHOUT having to infer from the data to extract what we need for our purposes. In doing

so, we are reasoning with a purpose– often generating a hypothesis and then proving out the

theory. This is something cognitive systems, like Watson, can do.

Learn: Cognitive systems are fundamentally different from traditional computational computers,

which are hard hard coded with rules and logic, following a decision tree format. Cognitive

systems get progressively smarter with each outcome, action, iteration– with each new peace of

information.

Together these attributes allow cognitive systems to understand data – structured and

unstructured, text-based or sensory – in context and meaning, at astonishing speeds and

volumes. In fact, Watson reads 800 million pages per second.

With one client, Watson initially ingested 80 million documents and incrementally adds

30,000 additional documents every day.

These combined attributes- understand, reason, and learn- make cognitive systems

great resources for humans- helping them to make decisions, discover needed

information, and weigh pros, cons, risks in industries around the world.

“The only way you survive is you continuously transform into something else.

It's this idea of continuous transformation that makes an innovation company.”Ginni Rometty, Chairman, President and CEO of IBM

We are on a path of continuous transformation and will continue to restlessly reinvent ourselves.
