A lot of mundane, repetitive jobs have started getting outsourced to machines, and this trend will continue, thus allowing humans to focus more on cognitive or creative tasks. A recent report by the World Economic Forum (WEF) predicts that two of the most important skills required in 2015- quality control and active listening- drop away in the 2020 list replaced by emotional intelligence and cognitive flexibility as the former will now be performed by machines. Creativity however jumps from ten to three. The next-gen creativity will also include logical reasoning and problem sensitivity. In order to lead business innovation and transformation over the next few years, certain steps have been outlined beginning with first drawing the boundaries around which one may play along and others where no changes ought to be made. One must understand that talent management and retention is not about physicals like buying foosball tables, but about curating an environment where creativity is accorded top status. There will be cases where one needs to deviate from the plans, so appropriate improvisation must be done. Instead of always seeking the solutions, one must know to ask the right questions. Once problems are identified, solutions will emerge over time.
