Securing future readiness: twenty skills your workforce needs by 2027

Securing future readiness: twenty skills your workforce needs by 2027

Are you already learning, or still resting on the laurels of yesterday’s skills? In our fast-moving world, the answer matters more than ever.

Would you like an example?

A look at top salaries in the US AI sector shows annual pay of €800,000 for leading specialists is no exception. A relevant article by Sascha Lobo is highly informative, if not eye-opening. Whatever your view of such high salaries, they clearly demonstrate how much companies are investing in new technologies. The fact is that today’s investments shape tomorrow’s reality. Technological investments in AI and big data, for example, will transform work across every sector and demand entirely new qualifications beyond today’s “laurel skills” over the next few years.

Looking for ideas?

Then look at the top twenty skills for 2027 from the World Economic Forum’s “The Future of Job Reports” study—link in the comments. Here are its three highest-ranked skills for 2027:

1. Analytical thinking
2. Creative thinking
3. Resilience, flexibility and agility

Ready to get started?

Everyone can invest in their own future: in personal abilities and in employees’ skills.

I would also be delighted to help your company identify its top future skills and, more importantly, develop a clear path for building them and initiate the first steps!

Speaking of first steps:

Waiting for your employer to make the first move and offer a future skills training programme? Better choose one skill from the top twenty and start investing thirty minutes in it every day, beginning today. It is worthwhile!
