Education Megatrends and The Skills For the Future Phillip Andrews International Innovation Centers June, 2017
Reminder: • Sociotechnical and Socioeconomic Trends Affect Education • In other words: Education does not live in its own world, independent from the rest of the society and civilization. It is part of the fabric of our society!
Key Realization • The current Education System was designed approximately 200 years ago to help the 2nd Industrial Revolution. It does NOT fit the new Era (Industry 4.0)
Industry 4.0 is The 4th Industrial Revolution
First, Some Sociotechnical Trends • The Digital Era + The Conceptual Era + … … Industry 4.0 • Total Sustainability • Holistic Innovation • Ecosystems (of all types) • Omni-Convergence (Industries, Value Chains, Technologies …); Omni Channel
Our Current Era Has Many Names • The Digital Age /Digital Economy • The Conceptual Age • Creative Disruption / Creative Economy • The Shared Economy • The Virtual Age / Virtual Economy • The Relationship Economy; E2E or Collaborative Economy • The Cognitive Era • The Petabyte Era, etc.
The Digital Era & Industry 4.0
Smart Education And that’s not all!
Question: Will Smart Education Improve Our Position In STEM?
Key Realization • Smart Cities will need Smart Schools. Smart Factories, Smart Infrastructure, Smart People, Smart Everything! One cannot have Smart Factories in Dumb Cities!
Total Sustainability • Being “Smart” is not enough. One needs Sustainability to augment “Smart” – Sustainable Society – Sustainable Cities – Sustainable Businesses – Sustainable Factories – Sustainable Agriculture – Sustainable Homes & Families – Sustainable Education
Key Realization Sustainable Innovation
Important Note Total Sustainability is more than caring about the environment and “Going Green”. It’s more about Innovation and Reinventing our Civilization!
An Example: Masdar City The Most Sustainable City In The World!
More Of Masdar City Please see documentary on Netflix to capture the full essence of what was proposed and designed. It’s an amazing story, albeit not fully successful yet. It still represents progress in the right direction!
Here Is Another Example Vertical Farms (Smart Agriculture) 90% less water, 3-6X more crops … integrating rural and urban life all over again!
Ecosystems Example: Innovation Ecosystem
Ecosystems Example: Education Ecosystem
Another Example (The Cloud and IoT Are The Infrastructure)
Example: RPI The New Goal: Integrating Education, Innovation and Business Ecosystems.
Omni-Convergence What Else Is Converging? • Industries • Value Chains • Supply Chains …
Societies and Businesses Are Imitating Life
Translating Omni-Convergence Into Useful Apps Mobility Social Media Big Data Analytics AI IoT
One Application: Augmented Reality https://youtu.be/xZBIPVHxzZ0?list=PLKfWL8IXgKBsEPzW2twstSSCv1afN5QH7
More Augmented Reality
Holistic Innovation (Will Address More in Next 2 Segments) Holistic
Education-Specific Megatrends
Some of Technology’s Impact Big Data & Analytics Technology will change the way education will be delivered, absorbed, enjoyed and applied (well beyond Online Learning)
The Top Education Megatrends • Education is going through Creative Disruption • STEAM --- ART is just as important as the rest – STEM is also changing (besides adding Art) • Most new job opportunities will be mostly technology-based (see next segment) • JIT and KaizenEDU (Continuous and Incessant Learning  Developing the Polymaths) • Leveraging The Petabyte Age (see presentation)
Creative Disruption or Destruction? The Answer Is: Both! See the presentation re: Open Movement!
The Education System Needs All Of These:
SMU’s New Degree
One More Megatrend • Project and (Hands-On) Experience-Based Learning – Knowledge and Experience as a currency – Robotic Labs, Innovation and Makerspace Centers at the High School and Middle School level – Fundamental skills include critical thinking, problem solving, entrepreneurship, quantitative reasoning, and communication
High School Makerspace
University School Of Milwaukee (USM) IC Is In The Works
Middle School Robotic Lab
SMU Innovation Center Entrepreneurship Club Incentivizing the entrepreneurs! Setting them up to continue their endeavor! Giving them all the hooks and benefits of the ecosystem
AT&T’s Innovation Centers
Sample Of Strategic Technologies That Will Inflict:
#1: Cloud Computing It’s more than IT Outsourcing and reducing IT-related costs!
#2: Social Media For Business
#2: Social Media For Business
The Digital Age Creates New Lead Generation Engines On A Regular Basis Traditional (Outbound) Marketing + Guerrilla Marketing + Digital Marketing (incl. Social Media & Content Marketing)  Over 80 lead generation engines! Most SMEs only use 5 engines! (on the average)
#3: Mass Personalization Mass Customization: Offering a menu of options for the customer to choose from. Mass Personalization: Allowing the customer to co-invent, co-create! Moreover … It’s about offering UNIQUE EXPERIENCES --- adapted to individuals’ interests and behaviors
#4 Omni Channel Everything You Wanted and You Were Afraid to Ask … (And Eventually All Devices Will Be Removed) Order anything, charge anything, check anything, act on anything, learn anything … Any time of the day, any time zone, any place, any language, any currency …
#5: Wearables Beyond all these …
New Devices Are Emerging
… one legendary Google Engineer is saying this will be as transformative as the discovery of electricity! Leading research firm McKinsey and Co. is predicting that this tech represents a mind-boggling $19.9 TRILLION opportunity.
#6: Super-Vision
Camera And Computer In The Eye
#9: Smart Robots & Drones
Robo-Drones
From Robo-Doc to Robo-Lawyer https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2017/04/27/7-jobs- intelligent-robots-will-take-first/#1f769df9131a
And Don’t Forget Robo-Servers https://www.facebook.com/OuterPlaces/video s/1392662827494852/
… And Don’t Forget Robo-Maids
… and The Ultimate: Robo-CEO Note: We are still at the infancy level!
Psychic and Indigestible Robots
#10: 3-D Printing Yes, you can make your own shoes! … at home!
3-D Food Prep
Visualization Through 3DP
There Are Infinite Applications MIT students have built a complete house in less than a day! Now they can combine robots and 3D Printing into one device!
Top Realization We are at the cusp of reinventing society and civilization!
Implication Every industry, every business and every profession are being reinvented … as we speak
Sample Of Professions Being Affected • Teachers, Professors • Doctors, Nurses • Lawyers, Paralegals • Clerks, Tellers • Servers, Taxi Drivers • Accountants • Engineers • Workers (Construction, Farming, Manufacturing …) Important Note Over 3 dozen professions have disappeared the last 100 years! More than that will disappear the next 20 years!
The Media Are Already Forecasting What Will Happen Next They scare people with bad news! However, there will be a truckload of new jobs and professions for people that have The Right Skills!
Some major corporations (like Siemens) are introducing their own Apprenticeship Schools (sort of Community Colleges) because they are giving up for schools to do the right thing! Our schools need to rethink what skills they offer to their students!
Key Question: • How many schools are preparing their students for Smart Factories and Smart Cities? • The answer is: Only a handful!
So, What Are The Right Skills? (At A High Level) • Being technology and information savvy – Knowing how to install, program, operate, maintain and repair robots, drones, CNC machines, 3D printing machines, etc. • Being autonomous ready – Knowing how to operate/function without supervisors, managers or other “superiors” • Being sociable and approachable inclined – Ecosystems and global relationships demand it
So, What Are the Skills Required For A Successful Future?
The Petabyte Era’s Model Requires New Skills Build or Change Whatever Hmmmm, that’s weird I wonder if …. Well, that didn’t work
Innovation Related Courses (Sample List) • Right Attitude For Innovation & Entrepreneurism – It’s more than just positive attitude • Innovation & Strategy • Creative Disruption • Holistic Thinking; Creative Thinking • Design Thinking • Innovating In A Digital World Over 30 such courses are available
Total Brain Key Skills  Holistic Thinking
This book will be available by the end of June, 2017
