“Are you ready for disruptions?”
That has to be the resonant statement of at the just concluded Changemakers Conference in Lagos, last Wednesday.
In this fast paced dispensation of technological evolution in the creative economy, the best skill you can have is the ability of adaptability. With the constant development of artificial intelligence, the question then is:
-are you prepared for THE change?
-are you prepared for disruptions in the market?
If you can’t provide answers to those questions, your fate to be wiped into extinction and irrelevance is already decided.
What is regarded as a job is entirely subject to the definition of value, and value changes based on societal demands and economic expectations per time. Being able to think critically and proffer solutions is the way to adapt. It’s your responsibility to think about how to thrive inspite of economic instabilities, harsh governmental policies and market valuation changes.
In the not-so-distant future, the survivors of these disruptions will be those who have mastered the intricacies of adaptability, and those regarded as truly literate will not necessarily be those who went to school, but those who can interact, sell, and influence within the digital ecosystem.
A million thanks to and his amazing team for putting such a great event together.
I had a surreal experience, looking forward to the next.
