Synopsis

The call to disrupt the status quo has never been more louder! We now live in a world where change has changed. Change used to be gradual but change is now rapid and exponential. Unemployment, massive layoffs and the displacement of workers by self-service technologies are familiar burdens of our time. Today’s world is characterized by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Big Data, IoT, autonomous vehicles, blockchain, 3D Printing and many other disruptions that are eating on jobs once performed by humans.

Quintessential conglomerates are slashing away layers of management structures, breaking themselves up into smaller units and automating processes. The middle class is now being decimated. Disruption is here! There is no longer such a thing as “job security.” Winning or losing is now happening faster than ever before. This endemic is happening in both developed and developing countries. The proverbial corporate ladder is crumbling; Careers are bleeding and economic anxiety at an all-time high. The call to disrupt the status quo has never been more louder!

Those whose main skill set is to play corporate politics and appease their bosses are in for a rude awakening. Gone are the special job holders with strong labour unions to represent them so they can obtain a somewhat prosperous lifestyle. Gone are those loyal partnership bond between employers and special employees. Everyone is now replaceable!

So, what is your strategy? How will you stand out and discover new opportunities in one of the most transformational times in human history?

Disrupt Yourself Or Be Disrupted provide answers that translate job anxiety and far-future thinking into insights that will allow you to take a glimpse into the future of work, and to successfully navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution aka Industry 4.0. The book offers the most pragmatic view of the impact of emerging technologies on employment, the urgency to reinvent and upskill yourself as well as exploring opportunities in the Fourth Industrial Revolution to create your own employment. The book includes 21st-century business ideas (25 Innovative Business Ideas for You to Create your Own Economy).

In a world where everything is connected, where machines can talk, learn and mimic humans, a world with more graduates than jobs, a world where machines are employable, where performance is at its peak, innovation at its finest and job loss at its highest. There is only one spot left to disrupt, reinvent, transform and that is YOU!

You cannot stop the Fourth Industrial Revolution, you cannot stop an economic recession or crisis but you can influence its direction and impact in your own life. A Book can save you 10 years...If you READ it and you definitely have to READ THIS ONE!

DISRUPT YOURSELF OR BE DISRUPTED!
