“People, workforce planning
will become more important than financial planning.” Rainer Strack
This is a statement from good TED talk by Rainer on his
interpretation of the workforce challenge of 2030. Supporting much of what this
blog has been looking at this past year, but bringing another angle. The key we
both trying to get over it is not about the changing workforce it is about the
operational workforce transformation to a new workforce landscape of skill shortage,
labor shortage and cultural and people change.
You can go to Ted talk with the following link.
A couple of extractions:
The investigation and determination of a significant
workforce shortage by 2030, but starting now:
The
required strategies that will dominate
much the thinking
Rainer is talking general workforce,
if you take this and bring it into manufacturing, industrial world, the
shortages will be all more acute. As
pointed out in other surveys from Accenture and others.
This shows in US survey
results on filling skilled and highly skilled roles, below is worked example of
mid sized company in mid west.
This is why the move from
knowledge to wisdom is key, and emedding of knowledge and wisdom , actionable
decisions into the systems is key to accommodate the transformation to
dramatically reduced dependency on skilled people. From Rainer’s and other
investigations that Operational Systems of the future in the industrial market
have 50% + reduction in dependency in skilled and highly skilled workforce.
This Ted talk supports this will be the biggest issue in the next 10 years to
sustain competitive agility. Like we have seen in 2014, I believe 2015 this acknowledgment
and strategies building around workforce change will intensify.
