The McKinsey Global Institute is tracking a range of jobs based on human skills and how they are likely to be affected by A.I. and automation. They place work skills into five categories: physical and manual; basic cognitive; higher cognitive; social and emotional; and technological. They say that physical or basic cognitive tasks that can be performed by relatively low skilled labour or require only low-level data input and processing are likely to be quickest to be replaced. Examples of jobs that will require new skill sets to work side-by-side with technology (or in time be replaced by) are drivers, assembly line workers, nurses, electricians, crafts people, cashiers, customer service staff, typists and clerks.
While demand for skills in these areas might be decreasing, McKinsey predicts a significant increase in demand in the higher cognitive; social and emotional; and technological skill areas. Examples of these are:
Higher cognitive: advanced literacy and writing, quantitative and statistical skills, critical thinking, and complex information processing e.g. doctors, accountants, research analysts, writers, and editors
Social and emotional (soft skills): advanced communication and negotiation, empathy, the ability to learn continuously, to manage others and to be adaptable. E.g. business development, programming, emergency response and counselling
Technological: basic to advanced IT skills, data analysis, engineering, and research. E.g. software developers, engineers, robotics, and scientific experts.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) says that by 2030 there will be huge demand for skills such as creativity (i.e. coming up with creative marketing strategies), critical thinking (i.e. solving complex systemic problems), complex information processing (i.e. analysing trends and impact on the company) and decision making (i.e. sifting through masses of data to make decisions despite uncertainty).
Whilst various digital and analytical skills will be important, the skills that will be the most critical, regardless of your chosen technical field, will be those that enable continuous learning, adaptability and dealing with ambiguity. These skills are the focus of this book.

Journal of Clinical Psychology
We used to believe it takes 21 days to change a habit. Other research in the European Journal of Social Psychology3 shows that it takes from 18 to 254 days to automate a new chosen habit depending on how consistently the behaviour was repeated in a consistent context. When we are learning something completely new, in which we have no previous experience i.e. driving a car … it is actually easier than un-learning and re-learning a new behaviour or habit which is hard-wired e.g. wanting to change procrastination or give up sugar!!

Def
Creativity is about harnessing our own and others unique ideas and beyond ordinary thinking to create collaborative and innovative approaches and solutions to risks, dilemmas and opportunities that new technology, business models and global challenges bring.
Why NB
Although AI, super computers and robots have already started reshaping our future – robots cannot be as creative as humans (yet). We need people who can think differently and more holistically to maximize opportunities to stay relevant both personally and professionally. It is about expanding skills rapidly and continuously to enhance value by bringing creative ways to minimize risk and get value out of evolving technology, processes and people.
