I had the great pleasure of delivering a presentation last week at Griffith University, on the topic of “The Future of Work”. It was attended by students as well as businesses and uni personnel. A very interesting topic – and one that sparked much discussion. Many thanks to CCIQ and Griffith Uni for having me.
For those of you interested in a change of career – here are some of the new jobs set to appear (I love them):
TELESURGEON – a surgeon who operates remotely
GARBAGE REDESIGNER – someone who finds better uses for recycled garbage
SIMPLICITY EXPERT – in this crazy world we all need someone to help us lead a simpler life
CROWD FUNDING EXPERT – yep, they will be the new finance brokers
REWILDER – these experts will help people reconnect with nature
GAMIFICATION DESIGNER – gamification is huge and applicable across every industry
