What challenges will the future of work bring and what skills will we need to face the future of work with confidence?
The pace of change at work is accelerating amid global business environments characterised by high levels of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
To succeed we need to build Human Skills.
Human Skills are essential for success at work.
Human Skills have very specific features – they are uniquely human, cannot be automated, are universal and highly transferable and are developable.
Human Skills are

Based on the latest research on the skills required for success in the Future of Work, Human Skills are 16 unique but inter-related skill sets grouped under the four domains of Self-Mastery, Meta-Cognition, Interpersonal and Future Focused.
1. Self-Mastery
The ability to understand how to regulate and attune to the changing needs of people, environments and challenges. In order to manage this, people will need to build skills such as the ability to self-motivate, respond appropriately under pressure, use emotional agility and enhance focus to persevere and achieve goals.
2. Meta-Cognition
Meta-cognition (becoming aware of our thinking) is an often neglected area of professional development. And yet, skills such as planning and work management, critical thinking, decision making, innovation and creativity are essential life-long skills for people at all stages of their career journey.
3. Interpersonal
One of the unique areas of human expertise that will not be replaced by technology is our ability to form connections and work together, finding complex solutions to meaningful problems. This ability requires a range of skills including forming working relationships, communication, collaboration, conflict resolution and coaching and motivating others.
4. Future Focused
Research is clear, the pace of change in the Future of Work will be accelerated. Skills such as the ability to learn how to learn, employing a growth mindset, taking the initiative and adapting to change, are essential and can be developed to enhance growth and reduce stress.
