We are living in an age of uncertainty — only continuous redesign and adaptation will help us stay ahead. Which trends are shaping the coming years?

IT’S NO LONGER ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO BE – BUT ABOUT EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO BECOME
New professions are constantly emerging, and we cannot predict what kind of training will be needed in 5–10 years. But we do know what skills young people will need to stay competitive. What knowledge, mindset, and adaptability are required to succeed in the jobs of the future? Leadership expectations have also changed: the authoritarian boss is being replaced by the people-focused, empathetic leader.
