education ensures graduates attain the
valuable data analysis and critical thinking
skills that will bring success across a wide
range of professions.
Communication and Interpersonal Skills
There has been considerable debate about
the role of automation and which jobs will
be lost as a result. Dr. Carl Frey, Director
of the Future of Work Program at Oxford
University, estimated that 47% of jobs are
at risk of automation in his 2013 book “The
Future of Employment: How Susceptible
Are Jobs to Computerization?” But, as
he noted in a Learning From Leaders
conference at EU Business School, the skills
that will resist automation are the truly
human skills. Paramount among them are
excellent communication and interpersonal
skills which, although they have been valued
by businesses for decades, will become even
more important in the future. Professionals
will need to demonstrate exceptional
communication skills to participate in the
collaborative problem-solving processes that
will be a hallmark of future workplaces.
“An entrepreneurial mindset – agile,
quick-thinking and innovative – will give
new professionals the edge in all
employment settings. ”
