The Cornerstone OnDemand signature client & partner conference ‘Converge India 2017’ saw a robust exchange of ideas and discussions on the amalgamation of technology, business and people initiatives, with the core theme running across discussions pertaining to building future-ready organizations through upskilling & reskilling. This feature is a compilation of the themes that were discussed during the conference.
The ‘normal’ today is instantly getting replaced by a “neo-normal”. And while the business ecosystem, workplaces, and workforces are not insulated from geopolitical, social or economic upturns and downturns, the competitive landscape too is intensifying and evolving as more and more organizations are digitally transforming to cater to the needs of their customers and employees alike. To counter such new realities of the emerging world, the need of the hour for organizations is to focus on future proofing themselves to minimize risks and stresses.
A report by Gartner reveals that “More than 3 million workers across the world will have a ‘RoboBoss’ by 2018.” We may not agree to this right now, but it cannot be shoved under the carpet for too long either. And while Artificial Intelligence and other technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution have already raised the bar of how enterprises need to function, upskilling and reskilling have taken the center stage. So, what is it that going to take to ensure future-readiness of organizations? How do organizations adapt to the new technologies that have revolutionized workplaces?
