SKILLS OF THE 21st CENTURY
The development of competences defined by us is crucial not only in our opinion, but in that of renowned world media like Fortune 500 and the Institute for the Future as well. In a globalised world overloaded with information, how can we identify what is useful and relevant and then maximise its use in an innovative way? We need to use critical and adaptive thinking to develop the ability to make the best choices. Faced with an information explosion, we need to learn how to work under cognitive overload and how to deal with issues such as focus, memory and stress. Increasing robotization is even beginning to threaten the middle-class, putting pressure on crucial skills: the development of creative thinking and innovation. These skills alone are no guarantee of success. The ability to sell yourself, your negotiation skills, your knowledge of behavioural science and your emotional and social intelligence all have a vital role to play.
