BE FUTURE READY Framework
HOW TO > MAP READINESS, GROW SKILLS, PLAN SUCCESS.
According to a range of experts*, the number of today's jobs set to be impacted by technologies like AI and robotics is in the range of 14-70%. In such an unpredictable future, and when research by Dr George Land shows creative lateral thinking drops to only 12% by the end of formal education* - what future-proof literacies, or 'Human Intelligences' will help us be ready for a potentially amazing new future? And how can we map such intangible skills so we can track progress and show others our readiness?
The Be Future Ready Framework has been built as an evolving guide to drive progress across the five domains and twenty literacies and provide an actionable set of steps so learners and orgs can create their own solutions, jobs and futures no matter what a fully digital era brings.
