Also known as the Internet of things, Industry 4.0, and Smart Production, the 4th Industrial Revolution is about the seamless connection of the physical, digital, and biological worlds.
With growing business transparency, increased consumer engagement, and new customer behaviours emerging, companies must adapt the way they design, market, and deliver products and services to remain competitive.
One of the results of the 4th Industrial Revolution is increased human productivity - but only with the inclusion of technologies like AI and automation. When this occurs, organisations can make choices and adapt to changes with far greater speed and effectiveness.
"..transformation will accelerate, change will become fundamental, and the path taken will require rational and precise analysis of companies' ability to operate quickly and with agility."
Accelerated innovation and the increased velocity of disruption are difficult to comprehend and anticipate. Innovation is spurred by creative and flexible individuals who then drive advancements in technology.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Big Data, Blockchain, Robots, 5G, Quantum Computing, Autonomous Vehicles… all these technologies are disrupting the way we experience business and society.
Some jobs will be lost, some jobs will be created, and almost all jobs will change. Remote working is becoming the norm, technologies are transforming human abilities, and the companies that can adapt and evolve will attract the best candidates.
