From DSC:<\/strong><\/span>
\n Yesterday, I introduced a vision<\/span><\/a><\/span> that integrates a variety of trends and emerging technologies that I’ve been keeping an eye on.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/span> <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Today, I want to focus on what this means for jobs, employment, career development — especially as it relates to higher ed and the corporate world.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

As the trends are pointing out, there will be teams of specialists<\/strong> — with a variety of skillsets required — and each of these team members will play a different role. Some of these positions are captured in the graphic immediately below:<\/span>

Within higher ed, the extent to which this affects faculty members depends upon how these teams are formed. If faculty members don’t go along with this, institutions will likely reach out to adjunct faculty members — or contracted firms\/help — to fill the gaps. Unless there are some other distinguishing factors, those institutions who don’t move towards a team-based approach will become irrelevant. It will be increasingly difficult for one person to develop the content that can compete with a team of specialists.\u00a0 Also, organizations of excellence — who have higher initial development costs — will be able to spread these costs out over a global pool of students — resulting in a significantly cheaper alternative.\u00a0 Organizations who don’t move in this direction may find that the pipelines coming into their institutions continue to get smaller.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be new jobs available — and changes to some existing jobs — as well, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n
