Organizations need to not just reskill or upskill their workforce; they have to fundamentally repurpose them.
Ingenuity of human thoughts, leading to mind-blowing breakthrough business opportunities and possibilities, can never be replaced by bots. That the mundane and day-to-day is taken care of by the ‘wired’ organism — AI, bots and machines floating over Clouds; it’s time to unleash the organization and people towards making Orbit-shifts.
The organism is getting lots of love and affection from businesses and its spreading fast. The possibility of a full blown colonization seems very real — quite an unsettling thought. However, this change, like any change, presents us with exciting opportunities, only if we choose to see and embrace it. The most seductive and powerful of these opportunities is ‘Building an innovative workforce’. With the right culture, practices and methods, systems and structures, an innovative workforce will be able to conceive, pursue and execute game-changing leaps and transformative solutions leading to quantum impact. In essence, a workforce that will pursue Orbit-shifts, create new value as against merely maintaining the current — a dire need for every organization today.
