One of the key challenges that decision-makers, have to grapple with is predicting the future. While we rely on data and analytics as well as the support of experts, a certain level of uncertainty lies at the heart of some of the most critical decisions we make in the workplace, especially around upskilling the workforce for the future. You might be surprised to know that, only 20% of the CEOs are thinking about a strategy to address this. What is the future of work and where are we going?
