For Purpose Rising
Purpose is our shared belief in a common future.
The title of this piece — For Purpose Rising — refers to the coming movement of people, organizations and communities who will generate value and create wealth using local opportunities on thriving platforms.
Year 2020 marks the next phase of the coming together of the human family, on the world wide digital platform. It is the next stage of the Industrial Revolution begun in 1850 when business, commerce and globalization have played a key role bringing us together as a society.
Consider for instance, the population of our world was 1.2 billion people in 1850. Today it is 7 billion people. The significant shift we will see in the next 30 years is that our world population will grow to 10 billion by 2050. Global renewable energy sources to growing from 22 percent in 2020 to 67 percent in 2050. And, the world economy doubling in size from 2020 to 2050.
The World Economic Forum Jobs of Tomorrow report released in January 2020 envisions the emergence of 96 jobs across 7 professional clusters that will represent the confluence of human and digital capabilities.
In the decade ahead, GenZ will find engaging careers in Data & AI, Engineering, Cloud & Product Development, Green Economy, Care Economy, Sales, Marketing & Content and People & Culture.
Over the next 24 months, 33 million new jobs in major economies will be created to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.The technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution will result in the reskilling of more than 1 billion people by 2030.
We now live at the crossroads of arts, business, culture, design & technology.
GenZ and tail-end millennials are now the dominant influence in our world. Here, new smartphone technologies give us the twin privilege of being users and consumers of data, information and learning experiences that take them ahead in the new jobs that will emerge in our world by 2030.
Small businesses & community networks built on new technology platforms are the new model that help us to become self-reliant. You will find for-profits and non-profit partnering to move onto for-purpose platforms. Across Asia Pacific, Africa and the Americas, I have seen this for-purpose mindset cut across beliefs and ideologies in the minds of its communities:
-We overcome adversity with the power of good
-We generate value and create wealth with ethics
-We operate at the confluence of digital transformation
-We benefit our communities and nurture our ecosystems
As we align ourselves to address the adversities of a post lockdown world, we are looking for the new way. That new way is infusing the for purpose mindset into our small and big decisions at every moment.
We are aligning ourselves to address the adversities of living in a post lockdown world. We are looking at better and different way to generate value and create wealth with the new communities, thriving platforms and global opportunities ahead of us.
We do this for two reasons. Everything we do leaves its imprint in time. And now, the benefit of one must now become the benefit of all.
That is why the For Purpose mindset is rising.
