We are currently witnessing massive business and jobs displacement as we approach the next decade. The pace of change continues to accelerate exponentially, and it is becoming increasingly challenging to predict the types of career and job opportunities that will be available in the next five to ten years and the decades beyond. I have been following these trends throughout 2019: (1) Accelerated Business and Jobs Displacement, (2) Demographic Shifts, (3) An Always-on, Always-connected World, (4) Reinvention of Higher Education (5) Generational Expectations, (6) Global Economic Cycles and Trends, (7) Dismantling the Corporate Ladder, (8) Redefining the Concept of a Career This book examines the impact of these seismic paradigm shifts on individuals, businesses, and staffing, recruiting, and talent acquisition professionals.
