Future Proof: Prepare Your People With the Innovation Skills of Tomorrow

As executives and managers contemplate the future of work for their organizations, what steps can they take today to prepare their current and future employees for the business environment of tomorrow? Organizations that are proactive in developing a workforce of the future will avoid a skills gap that threatens to become a competitive liability across industries. Now is a critical time for industry and academic leaders to think ahead about the knowledge and skills that an innovation economy will require. What skills will be in the highest demand? And how might private industry and educational institutions collaborate to ensure that students who will soon enter the workforce—along with employees who are already working—are prepared to perform meaningful work in jobs that may soon require vastly different competencies than they do today?

Join our panel of talent experts for a lively and thought-provoking discussion on preparing talent—and your organization—for the future of work. They’ll lend insights about emerging skills that employers will need to look for in various industries, share strategies for reskilling and upskilling current employees to prepare them for future careers, and discuss how organizations can use data-driven insights to build future-ready teams.
