Hess.The Smart Technology Age will be an age of constant change that will require you to continually adapt and learn new skills to have good jobs. The best research from Oxford University predicts that between 25-47% of the U.S. workforce will be automated by the end of this decade. Edward D. Hess, Professor Emeritus of Business Administration, Darden School of Business argues that today's workers need to be highly adaptive at excelling at learning, unlearning, and relearning at the speed of change. This requires you to "Own Your Work Journey" and to Take Ownership of You by striving every day to become your best self by taking ownership of your ego, mind, body, emotions, words, and behaviors. The goal will be to optimize your thinking, listening and collaboration with others in ways that will differentiate you from smart technology and robots.
