The Intelligence Revolution
Future-proofing Canada’s workforce
Over the next decade, the future of work will be shaped by a completely new force: the “Intelligence Revolution”. It will be driven not by incremental automation in manufacturing processes but by exponential change based on machine learning, virtually free data storage and communication, and ever-increasing computational power that rivals some human capabilities.
These developments will change what a job means, affecting the work we do and how we do it. The report introduces a series of new work archetypes based on the future-proofed capabilities we believe Canadians will need to succeed. It also includes recommendations for business executives, government leaders, business, and workers themselves that we believe must be implemented to put Canada on the path to success.
New workforce archetypes
To move past the frustrating debate about which jobs might be lost to technology or how many employees may be displaced, we decided to concretely help Canadians prepare for the future of work. We identified the most critical capabilities workers will need to succeed, which we consider future-proofed capabilities. We then grouped these into eight work archetypes, each of which comprises several of these key capabilities:
