The document discusses trends from the past, current times, and potential futures across various sectors. Some key points discussed include: - Past economies were focused on manufacturing, while modern economies emphasize green sectors. The future may bring more green economy focus and potential geoengineering techniques. - Traditionally, careers grew linearly but now exhibit exponential growth. The future may involve concurrent and sequential careers. - Whereas IQ and EQ were once prioritized, adversity quotient (AQ) and skills like social/adaptive intelligence may become increasingly important. - Male dominance has shifted to gender equality and the future could see a "She-conomy" driven by educated women.

3. Green economy is the one that results in improved human well-being and
social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and
ecological scarcities. (UNEP,2012)
•income and employment is driven by public and private green
investments
Businesses that produce green goods or services•Energy from renewable sources.
•Energy-efficiency equipment, appliances, buildings and vehicles,
and goods and services that improve the energy efficiency of
buildings etc
•Pollution reduction and removal, greenhouse gas reduction, and
recycling and reuse.
•Organic agriculture; sustainable forestry; and soil, water, and
wildlife conservation.
•Government and regulatory administration; and education,
training, and advocacy related to green technologies and practices

4. Geoengineering is the intentional large-scale manipulation of the
global environment with the primary intention of reducing undesired
climatic change caused by human influences (David W. Keith, 2000).
Major environmental concern- global warming
•Reduction of CO2
•Carbon burial
•Ocean fertilization
•Scattering solar radiation
•Stratospheric sulfur injection
•Cloud whitening

5. IMPLICATIONS
•More the greener the industry, the higher the job growth rate
in function of transit, water and sewage systems, and waste
management services (E. Pollack, 2012)
•For every percentage-point increase in the green intensity of
the industry there is an associated 0.034 percentage point
increase in the annual employment growth in the industry
over the last decade (95 percent significance).
•More the state‟s green intensity more it can recover from the
recent recession.

6. •Similarly when geo engineering becomes the need of
era, there can be associated growth in manufacturing and
service sectors aiding the same.
•Increase in agricultural productivity may revamp the
primary sector

7. •Performance of the systems may become ineffective,
unpredictable or unstable as a result of external events
potentially leading to profound and unpredictable disruption
to the climate system
So, researches to create efficient systems with
minimal failure rate should be done
•The Geoengineering techniques may be vulnerable if
switched off or deliberately destroyed. Anyone capable of
exerting such power may seek to abuse it for commercial
gain, military advantage or simple terrorism.
so, there is a need for development of
technology to create security for these techniques

Green innovation

9. GREEN INNOVATION-„The new or modified processes,
techniques, practices, systems and products to avoid or
reduce environmental harms” (Beise and Rennings,
2005).
Includes changes in the product portfolios or in the
production processes that has to do with waste
management, eco-efficiency, reduction of the emissions,
recycling, eco-design or any other action implemented
to reduce their environmental footprint.
Green innovation is the key and the driving force for
green development and transition(BAI Chunli, 2012)

10. GREEN INNOVATION
incremental
innovation of individual
technologies,
techniques, products
and processes
large-scale, radical
and systematic
innovation in an
integrated, overall and
in-depth way
offering support with
end-of-pipe solutions
providing backing to a scheme
to control a full life-cycle process
covering production and
consumption;
technological
innovation
to a multi-dimensional approach
(that includes technology
innovation and to integrate
innovation in overall social
structure, organization and
institutions, and even culture.

11. IMPLICATIONS
•Promotes sustainable development
•creates new and more vibrant economies based on clean
technologies
•Organizations need to define what "innovation" means in
their environment.
•Insufficient skills for employees innovate green products
Equip employees with green technologies and
promote green technology favored environment.
•Since green innovation becomes a necessity of era,
Organizations will have to create the culture for consistent
innovations and reduce the ad hoc approach to innovations.

12. PAST

„She-conomy‟

13. •Women in much of Asia and Latin America are achieving
higher levels of education than men.
•According to analysis by Booz & Company, 870 million global
women who have not previously participated in the
mainstream economy will gain employment or start their own
businesses by 2020.- mainly from non-industrialized
countries, while roughly 42 million will come from North
America, Western Europe and Japan.
•The gender gap in earnings will narrow over the decade,
approaching parity by 2020.

14. Women will overcome the legal and traditional barriers that
have historically prevented them from participating in some
regions using virtual, mobile and internet technologies to run
their businesses
The growing number of women who hold college degrees
and have attained influential positions
Women attain leadership positions and societies throughout
the world.
Women seem to be making inroads into top management in
the developing economies (AICPA,2012)

15. IMPLICATIONS
•National development will take a faster pace
(a significant correlation between a higher level of female
literacy and more robust GDP growth (AICPA,2012))
•Standard of living will increase
•Possibility that the most talented women in business often
avoid corporate life in favor of entrepreneurial careers (Judith
G. Oakley,2000), so creating more job opportunities.
•Demands for work-life balance become fierce, emphasis
should be on creating women friendly work environment- flexi
work schedules.

Robotics

17. Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the
design, construction, operation, and application of robots,
as well as computer systems for their control, sensory
feedback, and information processing. (Wikipedia)

18. USES OF ROBOTS(PRESENT)
•Assembly and finishing
•Movement of materials/objects
•Performing in hazardous conditions
The most common present applications of
robots is welding, in fact a quarter of today's robots are
used for such applications.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Service robots are expected to surpass the industrial
robots.
Any fields that are lacking workers.
in law enforcement and security.
Future robots could also be as small as a computer chip
and inserted into appliances such as vacuum cleaners.

19. IMPLICATIONS
SMART Factory Concept
Improved efficiency of operations
Reduced wastage of resources/optimum usage of resources
Production cost decreases
Save labour
Safety and security needs in organisation reduces
Competition increases, so subsequent product lines become
available to customers.
Consistency in work and standardisation
Unemployment rate will rise, so subsequent redeployment of
human resource is necessary
E-wastage increases, so researches emphasizing on e waste
management should be accelerated.
Cost of maintenance may increase
Over dependence on machines

Mobility
FUTURE
Virtual mobility
(Mobility without

21. Virtual mobility- Mobility without moves (PWC,
2012)
Many of the new approaches to global mobility have an
element in common – the lack of relocation. Organisations
are questioning whether, in this connected society, there‟s a
pressing need for a worker to physically relocate for their
work
Assignees (in the traditional sense) represent 1% of the
global workforce, but our latest figures suggest that mobile
workers, encompassing these new forms of non-traditional
movement, account for between 7% and 8% of the
working population.

22. IMPLICATIONS
Mobility opportunities are now recognized as a key element
in talent retention. Virtual mobility takes away that chance.
So, talent management becomes more crucial
Organisations need to be updated with high end
technologies

23. Traditional /past Current/modern

IQ
SQ & AQ
EQ

24. Dr. Paul Stoltz defines Adversity Quotient as “the capacity
of the person to deal with the adversities of his life. As such,
it is the science of human resilience.”
For many years, researchers have devoted a great deal of
their studies to Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional
Quotient (EQ), which are considered to be determinants of
success and superior accomplishment.
In fact, more researches recently have shown that
measurement of AQ is a better index in achieving success
than IQ, education or even social skills.)

25. Four dimensions to measure the AQ of an
Individual.
•Control,
•Origin and ownership,
•Reach,
•Endurance

26. IMPLICATIONS
•Since AQ matters, organisations and individuals
need to compete to attain higher AQ
•Development programmes need to concentrate
on developing AQ

28. Whereas a career comprises the work activities that can
be identified with a particular job or profession,
having multiple careers is the growing trend in the late
20th century and early 21st century.
These multiple careers can either be concurrent (where a
worker has two simultaneous careers) or sequential
(where a worker adopts a new career after having worked
for some time in another career). Both may occur for
different reasons.

responds affirmatively to the initial question stated
earlier and (1) had a job as a wage and salary worker
with two or more employers, (2) combined a wage
and salary job with self-employment
