Professional Development

• Thank You for Being Late (Thomas Friedman)

• The Machine: Age of Acceleration1. The Market: Globalization / Digitization / Automation / Robotization

2. Mother Nature: System-of-Systems Key Planetary Boundaries

3. Moore’s Law: Rapid Technology “the Supernova” (the Cloud)

• Societies Approach to Activities1. Condition-Based Mxs: See something dirty clean it

2. Preventive Mxs: Change oil every 3k miles

3. Predictive Mxs: Data input feeds actions

4. Prescriptive Mxs: Monitoring data predictive actions

• New Social Contract1. Workers & Employers

2. Students & Education Institutions

3. Citizens & Governments

• Innovation1. Political: Super-Empowered Breakers Rouge nations / Lone Wolfs / Cyber Criminals

2. Moral: Scale Sustainable Values

3. Societal: Social Contracts / Life-Long Learning / Public-Private Partnerships / Healthy

Communities

We must make time to stop and think. What do you do “in a pause”? In the age of acceleration, “we must learn to adapt to this new pace of change”!
