“The Upskill Gambit - Discover the 5 Keys to Your Career and Income Security in the Digital Age” (new Amazon Kindle eBook)

Friends, if you want to discover the five keys to enduring career and earnings success then The Upskilling Gambit is for you. Join us for a journey that will transform your professional growth and unlock new opportunities for you and your organization. The global workforce - with an estimated 1 billion Knowledge Workers - has undergone a remarkable transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age and now entered the contemporary Digital Age. This transformation has been largely driven by technological advancements and economic cycles. In the Industrial Age the workforce was primarily characterized by manual labor, with individuals working in factories and other manufacturing facilities. Specialization and repetitive tasks were the norm, with limited opportunities for intellectual engagement or skill development. The Information Age also brought about a shift towards knowledge-based work, as industries began to rely on information processing and communication infrastructure. This led to the rise of white-collar jobs and a growing demand for skills in computing, data analysis and first generation robotics.

Thesis: A generational opportunity awaits all Knowledge Workers who focus on “Upskilling” their talents - across all industries, functional disciplines and geographic regions - in the new digital economy. Given the vast focus on job displacement due to technology innovation and business process improvement - in the near term - the upside growth potential in the medium-long term far outweighs the downside risk for all who invest in “Upskilling”.

Contents:

I - Introduction

II - Upskilling - The Big Picture

III - Skills Reign Supreme

IV - Career Myths vs. New Realities 

V - The Newest Normal

VI - The Upskilling Paradigm 

VII - The 5 Keys to Successful Upskilling

VIII - Future Demand for Jobs and Skills

IX - Upskilling Teams and Organizations

XII - Conclusions 

Our Mission: The purpose of this book is to enable and equip Knowledge Workers - spanning an array of disciplines and industries around the globe - with the methods and tools to optimize their career and earnings potential through multiple forms of Upskilling.

Best Practice: Knowledge Workers should proactively begin defining their Upskilling strategy early in their careers in order to gain the full advantage for their professional and income growth.
