Soft skills like talking, listening and empathising are all becoming more valuable in a digital world
With half of all jobs in the next 10 years estimated to disappear due to Artificial Intelligence (AI), corporate training company Anagram Group has announced a new focus to its leadership and soft skills workshops—equipping leaders for the future.
New workshops include "Design Thinking & Innovation", and its signature programme, "Leadership In The Digital Age”. Mark Stuart, Managing Director / Head Trainer, Anagram Group commented "In the future, many studies have cited that 50% of jobs could disappear due to AI. As business costs rise, more employers could hire freelancers from a global pool rather than local employees. This will mean increased competition for jobs, flatter organisation structures, and more pressure for leaders to innovate and drive change within companies. To stand out from the pack, leaders will need superior soft skills and technological know-how to manage humans and the increasing involvement of technology. Skills like persuasion, social understanding, complex problem solving and empathy will become increasingly important."
Liyana Stuart, Marketing Director, Anagram Group added "We cannot fight the progress of technology—we can only prepare for it. We have seen a 45% surge in workshop requests catering towards preparing managers for change, innovation and the digital era. The challenge for future leaders would be how to use their soft skills and creativity to innovate in the workplace."
