Long gone are the days of simplicity. Simple complacent minds and simple analog
machines simply cannot compete in today’s extraordinarily challenging circumstances
and unavoidably digital mode. The global
pandemic has made this very obvious, although even without it, we would still
have had to contend with the necessity of constantly educating and upgrading
ourselves nonetheless.
As these past two especially difficult years have
taught us, nobody should ever take their jobs for granted. In order to stay industry-relevant and thus
be potential assets desired by either employers or clients, employees and
business owners everywhere have to take a long, hard look at their skill
sets.
The catch-phrases are ‘constant change’ and ‘continuous
competition’, and in this context, constant change means constantly new
technologies and constantly new market practices which make the old obsolete,
while continuous competition means anyone in the same field or position who has
more to offer that threatens one’s very survival.
Also, it is important to note that new technologies
are being created all the time that are replacing human workers and taking them
out of the product-to-customer equation altogether. This simply means that anybody who is
interested in keeping their position either as an employee or as a business
owner has a personal duty to constantly upgrade. This upgrading means education and
re-education – learning and re-learning.
It does not matter whatever profession or industry anyone is in, because
this education and re-education is undoubtedly necessary in every arena.
This is the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution,
the IR 4.0, which has completely changed the landscape of the modern world as
we previously knew it. Nobody can
escape, and no one is exempt, unless they are prepared to be left behind. Everywhere we look we see ubiquitous
digitalisation – automation, data analytics, machine learning, augmented
reality and virtual reality. Everything
is digital now, from simple day-to-day living to sophisticated business models
that dictate how organisations exist and how employees perform.
That is certainly a lot to take in for everyone, let
alone those with no digital knowledge whatsoever. In order to stay industry-relevant, everyone
has to constantly upskill and upgrade by learning and re-learning. It sounds difficult, but help is here.

everyone to invest in professional qualifications in order to stay
