While many jobs will be extinguished, others will strengthen their presence and many, most of the jobs will be in activities that do not yet exist.

According to a report by Dell Technologies, 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 have not yet been created. All organizations by then will be technology-driven, and as such, companies need to start thinking now about how to protect their infrastructure and workforce.

 

A number of sectors will, if not already doing so now, radically change life and work relationships in the coming years. These are emerging technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics, virtual reality, augmented reality and the 'cloud' (data management outside physical spaces).

 

Technology will bring creativity

 

Technology, by 2030, will not only serve to streamline processes or make life more comfortable, but will also bring skills such as creativity, passion and an entrepreneurial attitude, says the study 'The next era of human-machine relations' of Dell.

 

Integrated artificial intelligence assistants will go far beyond what can be done now. They will handle a variety of human functions, even the most trivial, in predictive and automated ways.

 

Technology will not necessarily replace workers, but the process of finding a job will change. Recruitment will be done through the use of advanced data-driven networking technologies; organizations will be able to find and hire talent from all over the world thanks to a set of logarithms.

 

The work will not take place in an office

 

Work will not be a place where tasks are performed but the execution of a series of activities, which can be carried out in an office or industry, but which will increasingly be concentrated where it is most productive, even if it is at home.

 

Many jobs that do not yet exist will emerge at a speed that is difficult to assimilate, and people will have to learn on the fly how to retrain and use new technologies, such as augmented reality and virtual reality. If until the end of the 20th century it was all about broadening knowledge, in the second half of the 21st century the key will be the ability to broaden that knowledge.

 

This speed leaves political, social and business leaders lagging behind in their decision-making. According to the Dell Digital Transformation Index, 52% of senior executives in 16 countries have experienced a major disruption in their industries as a result of digital technologies. And nearly one in two businesses believe their company may become obsolete in the next three to five years.

 

El director de Marketing de Dell, Jeremy Burton, afirmó que «nunca antes la industria había experimentado tal disrupción. El ritmo del cambio es muy real, y ahora estamos ante un escenario de hacer o morir». Para salir adelante en la era de las relaciones hombre-máquina, añade, cada negocio «tendrá que ser un negocio digital, con el software como eje principal». «Las organizaciones tendrán que avanzar rápido, preparar su infraestructura y capacitar su fuerza de trabajo para afrontar este cambio», dijo Burton.
