Through emerging tech such as digitization, automation and artificial intelligence, the future is certainly bright. Productivity gains, speed and convenience as well as a movement away from menial and dangerous jobs are all considered positive. Though if you ask many CEOs and HR leaders, they may say they feel blindsided by the downsides of these disruptive technologies. As these innovations are transforming the nature of work, millions will continue to be challenged to learn new skills and switch occupational categories if they are to fully participate in the new economy.
Building a workforce that is ready for this digital world will require significant, sustained, effort. The good news: advanced technologies are also unlocking a host of approaches that can accelerate, support and improve the effectiveness of capability-building efforts. And much of this training can be delivered in short, sharp bursts from Costa Rica...and deployed to the world.
