An Oxford study estimates that 47% of the jobs in
the US, 69% of the jobs in India and 77% of the
jobs in China will not exist in 25 years
– such is the pace of change under Industry 4.0

rest, you need to try something
new.”

ways that machines can’t.”

18. The 7 ways
YOU can thrive
in Industrial
4.0

19. The 7 ways YOU can thrive in Industrial 4.0
FIRST - Show you
can continue to
learn
We know employers’ value
this very highly – their
focus is not on what you
know through your
- but is more on what you
can learn in future.
for this by being curious,
reading and listening
widely, entering discussion
groups and being able to
summarise what you have
learned outside of
university or since your
degree.
KEY TIP – put some details
of this on your CV and
Linked In profile – that
employers know you can
continue to learn.

20. The 7 ways YOU can thrive in Industrial 4.0
 TWO - Demonstrate wisdom and common sense

 For employers, further than what you know is how you
think, and the value of wisdom and common sense. The
best way to describe the difference between knowledge
and wisdom is through the humble tomato – knowledge
tells you a tomato is a fruit (not a vegetable) – but
wisdom prevents you adding the tomato to a fruit salad.
One fast track to wisdom is via mentors and guides, those
who can share experience with YOU.
 KEY TIP – Discuss this with a mentor

21. The 7 ways YOU can thrive
in Industrial 4.0
THREE - Gain good collaboration and friendship skills
 Industrial 4.0 will make collaboration easy and
instant with anyone, anywhere and anytime – and
the change will benefit those who have the skills to
reach out, make friends, work across the globe and
build collaboration. Future corporations and
employers will be looking for people who can build
collaboration.
 KEY TIP – Make a new friend each week

22. The 7 ways YOU can thrive in Industrial 4.0
 FOUR - Gain cross-border understanding and skills

 Already our lives in one country are intersecting with lives
of other countries, and Industrial 4.0 will make the globe
an even smaller place. Those who have travelled, who
have acquired both knowledge and experience of other
cultures will be in high demand, simply because almost
every job will have global aspects.
 KEY TIP – Say YES to any exchange or international
programs

23. The 7 ways YOU can thrive in Industrial 4.0
 FIVE - Become an outstanding
communicator

 Traditional “soft skills” training will not prepare students
for the fast future – outstanding communication skills for
Industrial 4.0 will include rapid pitching, ability to support
points in a way which moves others, skills to relate
directly and closely with those above and below you –
any student sitting back quietly as a “newbie” will get left
behind. Old notions of being silent in front of elders or
superiors will not apply. Respectful and strong
communication skills will rule.
 KEY TIP – take communication courses every year and
volunteer to make a speech when you can

24. The 7 ways YOU can thrive
in Industrial 4.0
SIX - Be a team-based problem solver
 More work will be team-based and some of those
who succeed will actually present to future
employers as a team. Problem solving as a team
while at university should lead students to then
approach employers as teams – a good standout in
the race to gain attention.
 KEY TIP – identify a problem you feel passionate
about solving and gather a team to create a
solution – YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

25. The 7 ways YOU can thrive
in Industrial 4.0
 SEVEN - Build self-reliance and resilience
 With the demise of all you need to do is “study hard, get
the degree which entitles you to a job for life” model,
students will need skills in self-reliance and resilience. As
jobs come and go, individuals will need to be able to
bounce back and start again, maybe many times in their
careers. Where no jobs are forthcoming, graduates will
need to create their own or join teams that provide
solutions.
 KEY TIP – learn The mental attitude of doing your best
and accepting the outcome

27. The 7 ways
YOU can thrive
in Industrial 4.0
Show you can continue to learn
Demonstrate wisdom and common sense
Gain good collaboration and friendship skills
Gain cross-border understanding and skills
Become an outstanding communicator
Be a team-based problem solver
Build self-reliance and resilience

28. Thank you, stay well and I hope you see Industry
4.0 as an opportunity to thrive!
