Preparing your organization for the emerging Skills Economy
Cornerstone has partnered with Institute for the Future to help organizations map and prepare for the future skills that are needed to thrive in our rapidly shifting world of work.
Hear from Cornerstone Founder & CEO Adam Miller on the importance of preparing your company for the future of work.
With more than 50 years of research background, Institute for the Future maps out the five Peak Performance Zones people will need to master the Skills Economy and "get fit for what's next."
Zone 1
Make Yourself Known
Everyone is visible – just about everywhere and all the time. What matters is what you do with your visibility and how you apply the art and science of reputation management.
Zone 2
Befriend the Machines
Machines are getting smarter. Some of them will work with you. Sometimes you’ll work for them – of even in them. More and more, you’ll work side by side to get things done. Everyone will need to master human-machine collaboration.
Zone 3
Build Your Tribe
You’re not born into a tribe anymore. You have to build your tribe as you make your way through life. And you do it by making things together via peer production, including fashion, tools, shelters, and…well…life!
Zone 4
Make Sense of Complex Systems
Everything is connected – and the connections are growing minute by minute. They create feedback loops, and the loops are getting faster and faster. Making sense is all about finding your path through those loopy, complex systems.
Zone 5
Keep It Going
The world is going through a rough patch. Lots of people are looking for basic shelter today, but also looking ahead to tomorrow – toward building a resilient, steadier future.
90%
of CEOs expect this transformation to disrupt their company. And few are prepared – just 30% think their workforce is ready with the right skills.
To excel in the Skills Economy, employees must constantly exercise their learning muscle, and companies need to empower them with the tools to build and hone those skills.
81%
of CEOs said they are seeking a much broader range of skills when hiring new employees.
One of the most important implications of the Skills Economy is the transformation of how organizations will identify and evaluate job candidates. The résumé we know today will no longer provide adequate information needed to review candidates properly. To forecast what will replace the résumé in the coming years, Cornerstone worked with a panel of Talent Acquisition experts to anticipate the factors that will matter most to employers and designed what the “résumé of the future” could look like a decade from now.

“Every job will require some technology, and therefore we’ll need to revamp education. The K-12 curriculum is obvious, but it’s the adult retraining – lifelong learning systems – that will be even more important.”
