This book deals with one of the most serious career challenges facing us today - how to plan and pursue a successful and secure career in an age of disruptive digital technologies. Digital technology innovation is transforming the employment landscape in all sectors. Changes are happening faster. As career path certainty decreases while income risk increases, how prepared are you to adapt with agility to change and more importantly, harness new opportunities? This book: Maps the disruptive forces shaping and evolving modern workplaces as they harness the digital technologies on which we are now dependent; Challenges the conventional view of employment to help you be a leader rather than a survivor by providing you with the tools and a framework on which to build career resilience; Offers insights on how you can plan and act to adapt, survive and thrive in uncertain times. Industries and professions are transforming in months and years in ways that once took decades, or even a lifetime. Who should read this book Anyone whose work, or part thereof, can be (or has the potential to be) performed by others whose physical presence is not required in situ, or can be done remotely by using appropriate technologies; Anyone with children who are considering their career options, embarking on tertiary studies or have recently joined the workforce. Theirs will be a different employment landscape when compared to that of their parents; Those entering or at the final stages of their careers. The longer life expectancy and shifting age demographic in many developed countries is reshaping the concept of retirement. Managers and business owners who will gain practical insights into how best to manage their staff in a rapidly changing working environment. For more information visit rob-livingstone.com
