11. The Future of Work to 2030 - Conclusions
None of us can know with any certainty what the world will look like in 2030,
but it’s very likely that facets of the Four Worlds will feature in some way and
at some time. Some sectors and individuals are already displaying elements of
the Blue and Green Worlds; the Yellow and Red Worlds are more radical, but
no less plausible.
Those organisations and individuals that understand potential futures, and
what each might mean for them, and plan ahead, will be the best prepared to
succeed.” (PWC. p.38).

•Applications for a membership in the ICDE OER Advocacy Committee can be made by an expert ICDE member that
has a record and capacity to contribute to significant advocacy for OER.
•Members are appointed as ICDE OER Ambassadors by the ICDE Executive Committee.
•When appropriate, members of the committee should seek collaboration with OER Chairs and relevant
stakeholders to achieve synergy in OER advocacy.
•The ICDE OER Ambassador is not a funded position, but awarding it provides extra profile to the holder, expressing
ICDE’s interest in his/her voice on OER, underlining his/her reputation.
•ICDE OER Ambassadors are bound to establish a network among themselves in which they and their teams
collaborate, and to which experts in the subject area from other institutions may be admitted.
•ICDE OER Ambassadors are expected to jointly and individually plan OER advocacy actions.
•When invited and if possible, Ambassadors should be prepared to play a role at e.g. ICDE World Conferences,
Leadership Summits, Regional Conferences, Expert Seminars or other events relevant for the purpose.
•The Chair for the ICDE OAC suggests its activities and progress in collaboration with the ICDE Secretariat. The
ICDE OER Ambassadors have an independent position and will inform ICDE of their activities through a light-version
annual report.
