FastFulcrum - Remain Relevant

Description

“If you find yourself “stuck” in your life’s journey and want a path to move you confidently forward to a more fulfilling future (be it in your career or your personal life), I would strongly recommend taking the FastFulcrum coursework. The course work cultivates introspection and awareness to remove fear and replace it with confidence. You will learn to approach life with a new way of thinking and inquiry that opens your mind to creating possibilities and solutions where none existed before.” ~ Denise S., FastFulcrum student

“Remain Relevant helped me to become aware and learn more about Artificial Intelligence and automation and the effects this technology will have on lives in the near future. Being able to learn the Ikigai and SWOT/PEST tools allowed me to understand existing skills I currently possess but will allow for new strengths to be developed while expanding my professional and personal profile. The instructor is great at including other material and topics outside of the weekly curriculum that are beneficial to developing a better knowledge base of the tools and questions within the syllabus.” ~ Robert B., FastFulcrum student

“I … wanted to say thank you for being a part of your Remaining Relevant course. Seems fortuitous given the topics but I’ve been offered an internal role to move out of my audit team and have accepted … I attribute your class with helping me to be open minded, think of my skills in new ways and give myself credit for my life experiences – thank you!” ~ Taresa D., FastFulcrum student

“The Remain Relevant course has significantly changed the way in which I see the future of work unfolding. I’m now more aware (and hopefully more prepared) for the way that AI will impact my life, both personally and professionally. Evans first encourages his students to consider what matters to them and then he helps them navigate the complexities of their chosen path. I’m on my third course in the series and find myself more engaged with each session.” ~ Tammy M.; FastFulcrum student

Here we are, arrived in the Age of Automation. What is the Age of Automation, you ask? It's an era in which many tasks that were formerly considered to be the exclusive domain of human expertise can now be automated - performed by algorithms & yes, even robots. We see this in the rapid adoption of generative AI [GenAI] offerings such as ChatGPT and the rapid development of robotic alternatives to human labor from such companies as Figure and Tesla.

What is the potential impact to workers? It can be very broad (affecting all industries) and very deep (affecting millions of workers across all types of jobs). In the interests of controlling costs and providing ongoing value to customers & shareholders, many companies will adopt an automation strategy that will affect their current workforce – to do otherwise would mean failure when going up against competitors who have adopted a cost-reducing, improved-efficiency automation strategy.

The specifics of this strategy and its effects will vary to some degree from instance to instance, but it is highly probable that automation will assume a large swath of tasks/activities cutting across multiple positions, causing the organization to be restructured. Some will lose out entirely during such a reshuffling, while others who remain may see an adjustment in compensation.

How can one take steps to minimize personal, professional impact if and when this happens?
