The Paper-Mache Economies of today, over licked with printed money, their towers of debts marked as growth already declared super success, leadership on podiums proclaimed as certified wizards, blocking any further dialogue, debate, discourse or disruptive challenges. Today, the leaderships at most of the Public Sectors of the world, urgently require upskilling and special understanding of mobilization of entrepreneurialism to cope with pandemic recovery challenges. The world changed suddenly, so must national thinking.
In this pandemic chaos, a billion displaced and unemployed get ready to march on the main streets of the world.
They are coming out in disappointments, wrapped in anger, but more about themselves for letting their skills and crafts miss the boats, their degrees and experiences now un-trade-able, their burden of debt, guilt and sorrows un-bearable, some fought health crisis, some survived body bags, lingering in sadness, seeking truth and answers, they wander the world remotely. The time has also come to embrace upskilling and uplifting of women entrepreneurs all across the world, as they are the other missing wheel of the national economy.
When on the march, they need answers and not face riot gears, they need truth and not theatrics, and they need grassroots prosperity and not hologramic economies, and they now need brand-new thinking and new style leaderships, but are nations ready is leadership prepared?
Understanding the new battlefields; with some 100 nations at risk, lack of digitization will suck the blood out of economies, so what are the next steps? Anti-digitization Mentality,infested across the world, is the main and deeply hidden reason as after all, digital-divide is in reality only a mental-divide; the existence of deep fear about exposure of one’s redundancy and often incompetency or both. This iswhy digitization of economies are still lingering nightmares, and despite availability all along last decade of almost free technologies, any open discussion in any major Public or Private Sectors department anywhere in the world immediately exposes some 50% redundancy of surrounding staff and equally 50% incompetency to deal with the required challenges.
Understanding the deep silence; why everyone from top to bottom in Private and Public Sector organizations, so scared to talk about anything to do with digital transformation or any talk about ‘upskilling’ for over exposing own poor skills; therefore, choosing staying quiet at the cost of hiding under the desk or appearing overly busy but always in deep silence. Such choices are tragic on self-discoveries, self-optimization and overall productivity and economical progress of the nation
Understanding failures; Leaderships have openly failed in creating bold cultures where redundancies are reskilled and incompetency upskilled. The business world has forgotten how the postindustrial business societies around the world, totally ignorant and incompetent on computers, calmly and respectfully ushered under proper-guidance into computer and telecom age where all redundancies and issues of skills were upskilled on an aggressive basis. The Coronavirus Pandemic has now become the usual suspect on this invisible war to support militarized economy, but fixing economy and dealing with occupational challenges for the working citizenry will save the nations. Futurism is workless; nations now need to show new leaderships skills on upskilling and global age entrepreneurialism.
Understanding the Last Seven Societies: How 100 years of evolution has landed us here; during the Print Society in 1900, when the printed word was power, literacy was perquisite and only the privileged had access to knowledge. A similar scenario occurred 120 years later and is occurring today, as the thousands of options are only open to new global age literate while the rest of the population watches as amazed spectators. Today the Block-chain and AI coding, the technocalamity and alpha-dreamers are all altering our thinking while enjoying progress.
“The Radio Society made its impact after a quarter century. It brought information freely available to the air and music to tap dance on assembly line floors. The ‘voice’ created radio-personalities with opinions and opinion leadership became noticeable. There were five other major societies. TV Society brought live action dramas, and started the colorful consumerism. Telecom Society shorthanded distance and created standardization. The Computer Society created miniaturization and a sense of accuracy. The Cyber Society brought the world to the desk and started the diffusion between work and other lifestyles. We just left the Click Society, which brought the world into our pockets and seriously disrupted the traditional work model. “

“Our new society is a metamorphosis challenging our daily work model, something we have not experienced in the last 200 years. The change from a regimented workday to a fully free flowing work and rest life styles will dramatically shift habits in lifestyle and entails major psychological adjustments.” Source: Naseem Javed Innovation Management 2017
Upskilling of billion is now a critical need of time, less than 1% nations have any qualified reference or expertise in this arena. The deployment and mobilization will save them, lingering abandonment brought them here will only sink them further. Why suddenly, national programs on upskilling must emerge? Why so suddenly the world populace of today needs optimization of knowledge-plug now?
To crown our civilization with the highest award of supremacy of innovative excellence there is only one single achievement surpasses all the other earth-shattering advances of the last 2000 years. From firecrackers to a-bombs, steam to stealth or abacus to tablet, nothing comes even close to the power to what the world calls it as the internet.
Internet is also not things; like a banana strapped to a smart phone, it’s an electric current, it’s for us to plug into, it is a knowledge-plug available almost all over the world but in need of smart minds to plug also.
It is most powerful and can bring governments and super powers to their knees. It is most beneficial to the entire global population and it provides economical growth. It is easy to use, free, global and always alive, constantly growing, unstoppable and omnipresent. It is the ultimate assembly of ‘knowledge’ and delivered in usable forms. Internet is the greatest gift from America to the world and now it is helping us in a pandemic recovery era. Deploy national knowledge-plug, for upskilling, reskilling of working citizenry to stand up to global standards of quality production and bring back grass roots prosperity. When was the last local or national debate on such topics in your regions? Get into action and plan next 1000 days very precisely. Get ready for the march of the billion.
The rest is easy
