Just finished reading "Dancing at the edge" an exploration of competencies for the 21st century. An excellent and academic review of the topic giving hope that "future persons" will indeed be more resilient.


Instead of simply listing competencies they describe examples from the extensive range of interviews they have conducted. Interestingly it is the Arts where they found most - the arty types are always ahead of the rest of us. For example the role of 'producer' is described which is broader, more connected version of the 20th Century 'project manager'.

We will all need to learn to live with uncertainties and work flexibly in 'task forces' rather than pre-determined roles.
