3. Five steps:
Assuming that the computers will make decisions as good as those
made by 90% of the employees today, these steps are a blueprint on
how you will maintain your employability on future years to come.
The steps are:
1. Step up
2. Step aside
3. Step in
4. Step narrowly
5. Step forward

4. Step up:
• People must think in a bigger picture
• Let the machines do the things beneath you, and
• You take the opportunity to engage with higher order concerns
• Example: Niven Narain, a cancer researcher
• A long education is required if you choose this approach

5. Step aside:
• States using of mental strengths that are not abut purely rational
cognition but draws multiple intelligence
• Focus on interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences
• Knowing how to work with people and understand own interests,
goals, and strengths
• Example: Ricky Gervis, a comedian, a lawyer, a mother
• You need to work beyond IQ to develop greater respect for the
intelligences
• You need to focus on your uncodifiable strengths, first discovering
them and then working on them, if you want to follow this strategy

6. Step in:
• States how to monitor and modify the work of computers
• Example: Ben Bernanke, a former chairman of US Federal Reserve
• In augmentation environment, support is mutual
• The human ensures that the computer is doing a good job and makes
it better
• Can be pointed by people who encourage STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math)
• You need to develop powers of observation, translation and human
connection, if you want to follow this strategy
