The rise of Artifical Intelligence and other digital technologies, is impacting our lives in fundamental ways. But we are only at the beginning of what is shaping to be the largest and fastest transformation in human history.

On the plus side, the potential for new wealth generation promises to further accelerate the huge reduction in poverty of the past 50 years and drive all countries towards economic parity, aligning their share of global GDP with their share of global population.

However, the scale and pace of this social and economic change will be unprecedented and for many of us will seem overwhelming at times. It certainly won’t be business as usual. Traditional approaches to learning and education, work and career, community development, politics and problem solving are already being profoundly challenged.

Everyone will be impacted in some way by this transformation. So how do we prepare ourselves, our children and our organisations for these changes?

At The Ingenarium we integrate the latest thinking from the fields of neuroscience, learning and education with the real-world tools used by today's most innovative organisations. We enable everyone to map out their life-long learning journey and use powerful yet practical strategies and tools to transform that learning into high-value products, services, art and experiences.

Productive Purpose - The Ingenarium Approach

We all want the time and effort we put into our activities to "be worth it" - to have an impact beyond ourselves. Whether that be securing a job, attracting customers to our products and services, making a positive contribution to our community, or finding an audience for our art and creations.

To charge our lives and work with meaning we need purpose and to find fulfillment we need our purpose to be productive.

Learn

Humans are learning machines, and purposeful learning is energising, inspiring and deeply satisfying. The active, intentional application of our learning lays the foundation for meaningful creation and empowers us with a greater sense of control, well-being and direction.

Continuous learning will be key to thriving in the Digital Century, and everyone can learn and learn to learn better.

Think

Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and robotics are not only forecast to replace many physical jobs, but a wide range of repetitive intellectual jobs as well. Alongside this, knowledge, information and data are growing explosively as are highly polarised opinions, zombie statistics, "fake news" and knee-jerk social media storms. As our world becomes more integrated and complex, the ability to cut through all this noise to root causes and then think clearly and critically about priorities and solutions will be vital.

AI and digital technologies are projected to create more jobs than they destroy, but these new roles will require a solid understanding of emerging technologies, proficiency in the higher-level thinking skills that computers can't replicate and the ability to recognise and avoid the errors and biases that can cloud our thinking.

Create

Making our purpose come fully alive in the world requires us to build upon our learning and thinking with creative ideas that help make our work original, unique or unusual. But that is not the end of the story. Real innovation occurs when those creative ideas are transformed into something of value to others.

Creativity and innovation are commonly seen as skills that we are either born with or don't have at all. In reality, they are capabilities we all have to varying degrees. We tend to let them fade as we advance through our school years, but they can be reignited and improved at any age.

At the same time, innovation and creativity programs have a reputation for being hit and miss affairs and success is often seen as having a large element of luck. But successful innovators and entrepreneurs have been refining tools that are proving very effective in focusing efforts in directions that are most likely to be successful.

An entrepreneurial mindset together with effective innovation strategies will be essential Digital Century capabilities, whether we volunteer in our communities or at not-for-profits, or work for ourselves or for someone else in the public or private sector.

Relate

Underlying and empowering all these elements are the core human and social skills that allow us to successfully engage and work effectively with others. Self-mastery combined with a global perspective and cultural awareness forms the foundation. Leadership and management skills enable us to build and co-ordinate high-performance teams in support of our own and others' goals. The ability to communicate in powerful ways helps us attract and motivate collaborators as well as launch our unique contributions successfully into the broader world.
