FUTURE SKILLS NAVIGATOR

UPSKILLING HUMANKIND FOR A BETTER FUTURE

The Future Skills Navigator is the first holistic and normative framework for Future Skills.

It invites, motivates and guides you on your journey understanding and applying Future Skills. It prepares people and organizations for a world challenged by uncertainty, massive change, and challenges of global scale.
The Future Skills Navigator catalyzes an individual and collective upskilling and enables unfolding of human potential toward a desirable future for individuals, society and planet. A future characterized by a new humanity.

The Future Skills Navigator combines a solid structure with actionable quick wins. It is a segway into an upskilling to close the skill gap. It combines positive narratives of a future we want to live with a practical empowerment to create such future.

“ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DIGITIZED OR AUTOMATED,
WILL BE DIGITIZED OR AUTOMATED.

BUT EVERYTHING THAT CANNOT BE DIGITIZED,
WILL BECOME INCREDIBLY VALUABLE AND MEANINGFUL.”
