The 3 C’s: Complex Problem Solving, Creativity and Critical Thinking – Core Soft Skills Required in the Workplace of the 4th Industrial Revolution

The 4th Industrial Revolution will lead to a shift in the job market, with current job categories potentially being displaced and new occupations emerging. This means that versatile soft skills will be in high demand, particularly complex problem solving, creativity, and critical thinking. As machines become more integrated into the workforce, certain job categories will become completely automated, leading to the need for human skills that cannot be easily replaced. Jobs that require a high level of repetitive tasks will be taken over by machines, while jobs that require creative problem solving, strategic thinking, and other human skills will be protected. As the workplace of the future continues to evolve, it's important for organizations to focus on developing these soft skills in their workforce to maintain a competitive advantage.
