Akin to the last Big Collapse, currently, the gatekeepers of the world economy are in deep silence as the new date of the next global financial collapse is being figured out. The Brexit, the EU, any new pending war, the US Elections or some new unknown issues are all single push buttons for a global crisis. However, some smart nations are awakening; the silent majority is slowly talking, and here assisting them expediently are the attempts on the global-age skills and lifelong learning to enable them to build their own respectable future. The other options for the world are to simply wait for an unfathomable chaos while listening to the restless citizenry. It’s time to vote, it’s time for asking the difficult questions.
Why Stop Trade-Wars Start Skills Wars?
Trade-wars are proof of poor quality exportability, poor skills and poor policies, but skills-wars are about creating highly skilled citizenry creating superior edge of exportability and blossoming local grassroots prosperity. Nations should avoid blaming, screaming and declaring trade-wars on other countries and rather first look inside and declare internal skills-wars on their own working-citizenry to improve their performance and capability to stand up to global age trading challenges. In the race of exportability performance, no nation can escape internal skills-wars, to face the challenges of creating local grassroots prosperity no national leadership can escape the ballot boxes, its simple win with skilled citizens and change the tune to build own nation. So, what are the new challenges and what’s holding back?
Why Discover The Art of Incompetency?
In a hyper-accelerated supercharged world, understanding and measuring incompetency of working masses is a brand new art; identification of this critical void with right contents to fix the crisis of exportability is a new science, the mobilization of working-citizenry to regain new skills is courageous deployment and bold national debates to openly face these challenges is global-age example of successful political leadership. This reality is also about those hidden but well-trodden crossroads; where universities of the world failed the students, ask millions of indebted MBAs, this is where government bureaucracies failed the citizenry, ask billions of SME taxpayers, and this is where conflict-centric agenda stripped naked the global populace of any intelligent dialogue and this is also where divisive politics and populist thinking are finding fertile grounds. Every minute of the day, around the clock, on the main-streets of the world streaming live to billions such failed procedures and outdated incompetency laced business processes or political rhetoric are now openly visible, what the working citizenry needs are revival of new global-age skills before turning them into restless mobs.
During ‘ The Print-Society’ of early last century, when printed word was power and when only the literate had access to knowledge while any meaningful transformation took decades, today the literate and illiterate of the world combined in billions, with earth shattering communication devices in their hands are advancing and asking questions. The global mindshare is now the world’s most powerful battlefield. Therefore, today, the internal wars to tackle incompetency of citizenry are far more important issues than any other types of outside wars. Such declarations of internal wars are positive starts backed with world-class thought leadership, regimented and disciplined national agenda to transform citizenry with global-age-skills for the new world of global commerce.
Systematically abandoned, the small-midsize-enterprises of the world, the elimination of lifelong learning to keep pace with technology and future job-securities of the working masses of the world only resulted in insecurity, fear and lack of confidence and finally brought the rejection of globalization.
The global exportability performance is more about global-age-skilled-nations with distinct superiority of entrepreneurial performance over seek-and-destroy-soldiered-nations. Today, laborious and routine-works are being replaced by smart-work; smart-work is being replaced by smarter-machines. The Masters of Robots will be the smart unlearners, while the Slaves of Robots will be the deniers of change. In global search for collaborative synthesizim, Expothon Worldwide is seeking alliances to downstream high quality debates and discussion with top leadership within a nation and inviting experts in various business growth fields to join the platform already aligned with this global exportability driven metamorphosis. The recent move last month by Worldbank to adopt this very format with their launch of Econothon a global project is also a very good step forward. Expect some major and positive events in this arena to bring global thinking forward.
The world is undergoing mega changes.
Nations are already flooded with massive innovations but lack massive
commercialization. They have an overabundance certifications and degrees but
seriously lack entrepreneurial direction. Nations have empty incubators and
exhausted accelerators looking for real estate tenants. Nations have economic
development programs but often without reality punch. Nations have trade groups
like Chambers and Trade associations bodies that are stuck in the last
century’s models and are collapsing in this new global age. Nations have
unlimited resources and technologies but lack execution and understanding. It’s
all there, but trapped in old cycles and old methodologies.
Why Answering Global-Age Demands?
At the dawn of E-commerce; switching from industrialization to computerization were not new-funding dependent issues; it demanded clear understanding and memorization of what was once called ‘hardware’ and what was ‘software’ the rest was all about on job-learning to adopt and swim in deep new technologies…most were almost free. We are at the same junction today and in desperate need to mobilize hidden entrepreneurial talents of the citizenry and bring them closer to existing SME base.
Three steps to advance on grassroots prosperity
1-Identify 1000 to 10,000 or 1,000,000
small and midsize entrepreneurs within a nation, and create a national agenda
to quadruple their performance on innovative excellence and exportability.
Caution; this is not to be confused with old
out-dated-dysfunctional-government-data rather assembly of ultra-modern-digital
and current-profiles of midsize enterprises within a nation. These are advance
level mobilization and deployments laced with Artificial Intelligence, Virtual
Reality, Augmented Reality and Block Chain and freely available technologies to
smart enterprises and agile nations of the world.
2-Deploy massive digitization of top national trade associations and chambers
of commerce to upgrade to world-class digital platforms so that their entire
membership can skate nationally and globally showcasing their goods and
services. Caution; this is not to be confused with already broken and
disconnected websites from last decade, this is more like LinkedIn format colorful
and highly interactive platforms
3-Engage the national entrepreneurial talent, 1000-10,000- or 1,000,000 small
and midsize businesses in ongoing discussions and high quality entrepreneurial
debates and create global bounce. Caution; this is not to be confused with a
single plastic award night, this is about the remaining 364 days of the year
filled with active and daily engagements.
Why the critical lack of knowledge?
Fact: The world can easily absorb unlimited exportable ideas in unlimited
vertical markets.
Fact: The well-designed innovative ideas are worthy of such quadrupled volumes.
Fact: The entrepreneurial and dormant talents of a nation are capable of such
tasks.
Fact: The new global age skills, knowledge and execution are now the missing
links
Some 10,000 Chambers of Commerce of the world are sorting out trade wars and
trade disputes but not the new global age demands of global marketplace for
their own memberships while some 100,000 National Trade Associations of the
world are mostly stuck in last century when it comes to advanced level digital
platforms and are afraid about their future roles and return on investment on
membership fees. They all will shine under new flags of creating new global
bounce and prosperity.
Public Sectors of the world are mostly grossly under-optimized on their own hidden talents, seriously afraid of entrepreneurialism and without global-age skills or innovative ideas how to tame an elephant. They will become confident, highly optimized and fearless, and will contribute freely to new ideas and prosper.
The small and mid-size enterprises all over the new and old world, though in critical need of global age expertise, are already in boiling pot and do not have the time, finances or the luxury to intellectualize such issues. They have already lost faith in their local support but will rejuvenate with joy and become the number one source of new job creation within a nation.
Blaming other countries, the political gatekeepers of the world are mostly busy showing off their latest Teleprompters so will they get public attention, votes and most needed respect or they need brand bold direction. The overflow of free technologies, progressive local, national and global solutions are grossly misunderstood and least optimized areas. This is an ocean in need swimmers and scuba-divers.
Why it’s time to re-think?
Most nations already have extraordinary wealth in hidden assets;
Natural resources; mostly unearthed, and underutilized.
Human resources; untapped and abandoned,
Cultural and historic features; caught in divisive conflicts
National intelligencia and knowledge; developed over millennia now isolated or
outcast
All these tossed around under the dead weight of populace politics and massive
incompetence.
The lack of collaborative synthesizim is already destroying half of the world’s
talents.
It’s all about global age skills of
the citizenry and not the armies; as armies cannot feed the citizenry.
It’s about special thinking to figure out how to uplift national skills under
entrepreneurialism
Firstly, create an authoritative discussion on these topic,
escalate it to top national leadership,
Secondly, create a forum focused on new blueprints and clearly put aside the
funding issues,
Thirdly, concentrate on the sleepy and dormant talents and venues collecting
dust within the nation.
Final results; national mobilization of entrepreneurialism under a formal
agenda
What’s your recommendation and how can you help your nation?
