New Ways To Productivity In The Emerging World

Thinking itself is a difficult habit in today’s world. But it is fundamental for us to learn and unlearn. The digital nature of things necessitates it. Changes in technology demand immense synergies with education and the future employment scenario.

We have talked endlessly about the changes brought in by technology. The larger business landscape and the broad workings of every industry have been transformed. While the ‘way we do business’ is changing workstyles, the most significant changes will happen to the individual habits and the way we look at productivity. The quotidian 9-5 job is passe!

We will now be faced with a world where we will have to constantly re-engineer ourselves and be prepared for huge changes in every aspect of our waking life. As the renowned author, Alvin Toffler says, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” Increasingly, change is not something that we will have to negotiate with time and again but managing change will be as fundamental as managing life!
