The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

One of the questions I get, and I get a lot, especially having worked in Microsoft and IDM, is what are the jobs of the future?

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

What advice can you give?

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

And I really take that to heart because I've personally benefited from tech automation and being a part of these companies.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

And I feel a deep responsibility.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

And I do think that we're generally underestimating the amount of change that's coming.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

In other words, as much hype as there is, there's even more change than I think warrants the hype, believe it or not.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

And I could be wrong.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

But the advice I give is this.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

The world will always have problems.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

We may not know what those problems are.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

So get great at problem solving.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

Yeah.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

And I think, you know, it's like, okay, well, how do I do that?

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

Well, I'm one of the disciplines that's been a bit battered and bruised is, you know, the world of design thinking, right?

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

Design thinking, right?

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

There's fatigue.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

I think it's kind of one of those been there and done that.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

But if you strip away kind of the language and you get to the core of what design thinking is all about, it's being world-class, it's solving problems and the right problems that matter to humanity and business and the world.

The Action Catalyst
CLIP: The Waldorf Astoria Elevator Problem

So the likes of IDEO and McKinsey and Stanford D School over the years have developed capabilities to teach all sorts of people design thinking.

The Action Catalyst

And so to me, I think we may not see and have clarity of what those problems are, but the world will have problems.
