The Futurist Strategy

The Futurist Strategy

Through this strategy, I will briefly discuss Top 10 Future Careers written by the Futurist Glen Hiemstra. The article reviews the top ten careers evaluated by Time Magazine, and Michio Kaku’s book, Visions. They are both not so exact and most should go with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is most precise. It seems that the Futurist Glen Hiemstra evaluated the two: Time Magazine and Visions with the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics and came up with his own list. According to Hiemstra, the Futurist came up with developing and using technology: this applies to technology of all kinds but especially applies to communications and computing technology, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.

Additional areas will be energy technology and transportation. Second, responding to fundamental demographic shifts: The huge youth population of the current decade, the tidal wave of elders coming especially after 2010, and the impacts of migration around the world all create the need for work in a variety of fields, from teaching to tourism, from job training to elder care. Third, according to Hiemstra, helping society’s organizations adapt: the pace of change that organizations face is increasingly clear. Both internal and external jobs in fields like communications, counseling, consulting, and training will grow, as will the shear application of change skills within the context of regular jobs in management and elsewhere.

According to the Futurist, I will be well as a consultant, and being a consultant offer many advantages and opportunities. Businesses today are creating and capturing more information than ever before, but that can make their challenge harder, not easier. These days, the quality of data can determine the success of failure of the most important business decisions. Therefore, consultant will be mostly needed and required.
