“Values lead to Value”

Innovation 4.0 is building a Talent Marketplace of Leadership and Innovation – A world where Values lead to Value, a world of Future-Proof Creators, not Consumers, achieving long and successful careers and overcoming automation, outsourcing, and obsolescence.

Future-Proof Talent

INNOVATION 4.0

INNOVATION 4.0 is future-proofing the workforce by enhancing and harnessing Leadership and Innovation talent.

We must Future-Proof the Future Workforce

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), five years from now, over one-third of skills (35%) that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed.

By 2020, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have brought us advanced robotics and autonomous transport, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics.

New Innovations will require New Leaders

Robotics and autonomous transport, Artificial Intelligence (“A.I.”) and machine learning, advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics will transform the way we live, and the way we work.

Some jobs will disappear, others will grow and jobs that don’t even exist today will become commonplace. What is certain is that the future workforce will need to align its skillset to keep pace.

Creativity is King in the Industrial Revolution 4.0

The World Economic Forum (“WEF”) published a Talent Model of the 10 most “Critical Skills for the Workforce of 2020”. Creativity will become one of the top three skills workers will need.

Workers are going to have to become more creative in order to benefit from these changes. Change won’t wait for us: business leaders, educators and governments all need to be proactive.

We must combat Bias and end "Chicken & Egg" Hiring

So many face a Chicken and Egg problem of possessing talent but little-to-no experience… when so many jobs require experience! Talent must become the centerpiece of career matching and development.

Bias has an out-sized impact on the under-served and under-resourced, and must be combated.

A Two-Pillar Approach

The INNOVATION 4.0 Stratgey

INNOVATION 4.0 arms its participants with a curriculum that allows them to practice and strengthen their Leadership and Innovation Talent, their Values, and their Principles. INNOVATION 4.0 has also developed a strategy to provide data-driven tools for matching talent to careers, based on hiring processes that are free from bias.

Pillar #1 – Our Curriculum

Five years from now, over one-third of skills (35%) that are considered important in today’s workforce will have changed. By 2020, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have brought us advanced robotics and autonomous transport, artificial intelligence and machine learning, advanced materials, biotechnology and genomics.

These developments will transform the way we live, and the way we work. Some jobs will disappear, others will grow and jobs that don’t even exist today will become commonplace. What is certain is that the future workforce will need to align its skillset to keep pace.

Pillar #2 – Our Talent Graph Strategy

We continue to develop a Talent Graph Strategy for matching talent and resources to opportunity for long-term, high-income, potential and success. INNOVATION 4.0 has a powerful vision for harnessing social graph technology for the advancement of all people, that eliminates Bias from the hiring selection process, and provides an understanding of Return on Investment on learning specific skills.

We need better data on talent, a better way of leveraging that data through learning-based approaches, and data-driven applications that help our two constituent groups. Our approach allows for preservation and integrity of the data, completeness of the data and its narratives, while avoiding intrinsic and unconscious bias.
