How To

There are many advice articles on how to ‘future proof’ ourselves, in the face of advancing technology.  The conclusion of the advice in those articles mostly seems to be some derivative of these themes:

• Network

• Don’t fear change, embrace it

• Build your skills (including soft skills)

• Identify gaps to where you want to be

One of the definitions of competence is “a combination of knowledge, skills and experience”.  The advice in the articles follow those aspects, too:

• Networking develops knowledge;

• not fearing change is demonstrated by building relevant skills, and

• the best way to fill gaps is through relevant experiences.
