Happy New Year to all ka! Hope your holidays were filled with joy na ka. I
visited my mother’s friends as usual to find both quite ok though one seemed to
age faster than the other….both are around the same age 94/95 ka.
To start 2019, let me share with you a book Dr. Romyen lent it to me which is entitled, ‘How to Prepare Now for What’s Next’
by Michael McQueen, 2018. It was an easy read and to me, as I was reading it, I felt like
highlighting quite a few sentences so I decided to buy a new one to return to
Dr. Romyen kaJJ!
Here are
some to share:
- Move toward widescale
automation will disrupt industries and sectors from transportation
(expect the true autonomous driving available to the public by 2020), personal
and professional services (Panasonic created a 24-fingered hairwashing robot
that’s already operating in Japanese hair salons), and retail to logistics and
distribution, medicine (doctor rating websites allow patients to rate
their doctors on price, bedside manner and service levels), and communication (Chatbots
at call centers)…..5555! all sectors loei ka!
- On 3D printing, major shoe
manufacturers have begun using printed insoles and orthotics
designed to prevent or eliminate foot pain. Food printers are already creating
designer cookies, pastries, etc. while the first 3D-printed drug has been
approved by the US FDA.
- New economy of travel means in
Australia, booking Qantas airtickets through Airbnb allows us to get frequent
flyer points.
- Millennials’ mindset (digitally
obsessed, experience-drive, socially-minded, passionate about openness, attention
seeking, etc.) has changed so it means learning, business, marketing and
all others including rules and regulations need to be reconsidered, researched,
and revised.
- A few things are left for humans
kaa:
· ‘automate caregiving’ not ‘automate
caring’ yet!
· Don’t’ wait until a crisis arises as
we could manage ‘survival’ not ‘strategy’
· Have appetite for smart risks to thrive in the age of disruption…..fail
fast to learn fast and not to repeat the failure
· ‘Don’t be drunk on success’ like ‘Kodak moments’ and a few
others around
·
Have empathy, think of experience to offer, become one’s own customer
·
Be different not better
‘FEAR IS A KEY MOTIVATOR AND THE FUTURE IS SOMETHING TO
BE EXCITED AND HOPEFUL FOR’
Cheers to 2019 with our drive to be disruptors not to be disrupted ka.
