4. The world we live in
Access to Everything, All the Time, From Any Device, Anywhere
• Knowledge-intensive and innovation-led
globalized world
• Everyone competes with everyone, self-
branding on the rise
• The less competent are replaced by those
who, in other parts of the world, can do the
same for less
• The rate of change of the economy requires
creative and differentiated workforce
• But the uniformity of school systems
produces almost undifferentiated workforce
• The ability to create value, with creativity
and competence, becomes essential for
survival in the labour market

5. Why the modern world is bad for your brain ?
• We are doing the jobs of 10 different
people while still trying to keep up with
our lives, our children and parents,
our friends, our careers, our hobbies,
and our favorite TV shows
• When people think they’re multitasking,
they’re actually just switching from one
task to another very rapidly. And every
time they do, there’s a cognitive cost in
doing so.
• Multitasking creates a dopamine-
addiction feedback loop, effectively
rewarding the brain for losing focus and
for constantly searching for external
stimulation. To make matters worse, the
prefrontal cortex has a novelty bias,
meaning that its attention can be easily
hijacked by something new
• Glenn Wilson, former visiting professor
of psychology at Gresham College,
London, calls it info-mania

6. Labor market dynamics…
• By 2015, big data demand will affect one million jobs in the Global 1000 but only
one-third of those jobs will be filled …
• Wearable smart electronics in shoes, "tattoos," and accessories emerges as a ten
billion dollar industry by 2016. … Source: Gartner

2 hemispheres = 2 approaches

9. The Knowledge Era = present
This was the age of the knowledge
worker. The activities that brought us
success were centered on the left-brain:
sequential, contextual, detailed –
oriented , liner, analytical and
focused on “hard” facts
The Conceptual Era =future.
The rise in significance of right-brain
thinking. Creativity, context, the “big-
picture”, pattern recognition, empathy,
design and soft-skills are more
important than simply knowing and
applying
CROSS-CULTURAL COMPETENCY, ability

abstract concepts and conduct
data-based reasoning
COGNITIVE LOAD MANAGEMENT,
ability to discriminate and filter the
information needed to produce
successful solutions
TRANSDISCIPLINARITY, ability
to reason and build knowledge
across multiple disciplines DESIGN MIND-SET, ability to create
solutions in contexts where only part
of the requirements are known
ADAPTIVE THINKING, ability to
think and act in ways that transcend
the rote and rule-based
