THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IS HERE - ARE YOU READY?2

What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution describes the exponential changes to the way we
live, work and relate to one another due to the adoption of cyber-physical systems,
the Internet of Things and the Internet of Systems. As we implement smart
technologies in our factories and workplaces, connected machines will interact,
visualize the entire production chain and make decisions autonomously. This
revolution is expected to impact all disciplines, industries, and economies. While in
some ways it's an extension of the computerization of the 3rd Industrial Revolution
(Digital Revolution), due to the velocity, scope and systems impact of the changes of
the fourth revolution, it is being considered a distinct era. The Fourth Industrial
Revolution is appearing almost every industry in every country and creating massive
change in a non-linear way at unprecedented speed.

What’s the promise of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

Indeed, one of the greatest promises of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is to potential is to improve the quality of
life for the world's population and raise income levels. For those in First World countries who already enjoy some
of the benefits of a connected world as well as new products and services developed to take advantage of the
technologies, we appreciate the efficiencies and conveniences provided such as booking a flight to getting movie
recommendations. Our workplaces and organizations are becoming "smarter" and more efficient as machines, and
humans start to work together, and we use connected devices to enhance our supply chains and warehouses. The
technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution might even help us better prepare for natural disasters and
potentially also undo some of the damage created by previous industrial revolutions.

What’s the potential peril of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

World governments need to adequately plan for and regulate our new capabilities to ensure our security. There
could be increased social tensions as a result of the socioeconomic changes brought by the Fourth Industrial
Revolution that could create a job market that’s divided into “low-skill/low-pay” and “high-skill/high-pay”
segments. Typically, first-adopters of technology are the ones with the financial means to secure it, and that
technology can catapult their continued success increasing the economic gaps. Some jobs will become obsolete.
Additionally, the changes could develop so swiftly, that even those who are ahead of the curve in terms of their
knowledge and preparation might not be able to keep up with the ripple effects of the changes.

How best to prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution?

It is necessary as leaders and citizens to shape a future that works for all by putting people first, empowering
them

and constantly reminding ourselves that all of these new technologies are tools made by people for people. Humans
must be proactive in shaping this technology and disruption. This requires global cooperation and a shared view of
how technology is reshaping our economic, social, cultural and individual lives.

Companies should invest in their technical infrastructure and data analyzing capabilities. All businesses must be
making a move to be smart, connected organizations or they will soon fall behind the competition.

We need to develop leaders with the skills to manage organizations through these dramatic shifts. As professionals,
we need to embrace change and realize that what our jobs are today might be dramatically different in the not too
distant future. Our education and training systems need to adapt to better prepare people for the flexibility and
critical thinking skills they will need in the future workplace.
