and I bet now that you’re in school you
get this question all the while have you
ever thought about if you didn’t have a
famous face your famous name you still
get asked the question and the question
is what do you do and there you are you
have to answer that question each time
it comes to you and now your response
clearly defines whether this is a
conversation starter or it’s an end up
and it could be at your workplace it
could be if you’re out on a date or it
could be even as an interview but let’s
rewind a little bit
let’s rewrite in the time when I was a
little kid I must have trained around
seven and I often get this question I’m
sure you do too it will often get asked
when you are no true what do you do and
all the kids around me would suddenly
have answers and they want to be lawyers
and teachers and engineers and
astronauts and other whatnots and me I
hesitate I’d hesitate because if you’d
met my younger self you know that I
didn’t have a clue about what I want to
be or what I want to do and that was it
what evening after school I must have
been maybe eight or nine and I was
spending a day doing absolutely and I
suddenly saw a choir rehearsal the
pianist rows of singers with their music
sheets and I was so excited it’s all so
beautiful and suddenly the music sheets
fell off the music rack I rushed in to
pick up those sheets the pianist asked
me would you like to come help me turn
the pages and I thought to myself how
bad could this be but that’s where it
started first as a daily affair then
and the month of mnemonic you’re after
all I do was turn the pages so I thought
this has been why I could probably see
or later piano or something but so maybe
I resigned to the spot that maybe I’m
not wired for this after all maybe I am
just destined to be a page-turner and
then suddenly one day out of the blue
the pianist asked me whether I’d like to
join the choir and then I was nervous
and I said but I don’t know how to do
anything and she smiled at me and she
told me what she’d been teaching me
every day for the past few years she
taught me to turn the pages I’d have to
turn them at the right time to fast and
she missed the notes too slow and she’d
missed the opening bars of the next page
and there I was a page turn and who knew
that in this page turning I get my first
formal lessons that would lead me to go
on to conduct choirs and write music and
like that in followed my school
librarian allowed me extra hours to
browse on the condition that I had a
catalog a policy advisor gave me access
to newspapers from across the world and
a blind lady taught me to identify bird
calls there was this constant state that
something is happening somewhere this
having pointed me in that direction
I had these tail winds every now and
then right through school and right
through college and that’s when I
started to meet people much younger than
I was some of them half my age maybe
closer to the age of some of you here in
this room
some of them interned with me others
needed mentoring some of them just asked
me for the Wi-Fi password in my office
and it went on and we touch with both of
them
two of them are authors some of them
have become strategists and very
recently we work with some PhD students
and now they’re on their way to spending
a week in France because they they gone
on to win some award one day I walked
into a room with three smartest the
youngest was nine
the eldest was 24 all of them
multi TEDx speakers they were building
3d printers they were setting up fab
labs and drawing lessons from the light
of refugees on the other side of the
world Depot Cremona often asked the
question what happened to you now if you
let this question so killing you realize
the portent of it and if you really
think about it the responses points
towards the perception you have of
yourself your most visible self your
construct your many journeys and in that
instant I saw the wisdom behind Isaac
Newton’s joints from journalists to
editors I’ve had mentors data scientists
environmentalists thanks to my many
interests I’ve interfaced with food
canoes yours opera singers musicians and
it just continued from there there was
this constant need for me to learn
something new and I realized I’d become
an explorer a collector of experiences
constantly observing and learning just
like the page-turner and soon natural
curiosity got the better of me I started
tracking the Millennials or the
Generation Y especially those born
between 1981 and 80 for this special
cohort went on to create Facebook
Instagram Q aura read it and then I
discovered generation C and that
generation C is where most of you today
are global citizens visually engaged
educationally transformed socially
defined you are the technical X talking
to Siri Alexa kirtanam became with
augmented reality they to sing parties
you have been all of this in the course
of a single day and what I’m getting to
know you the fourth Industrial
Revolution is gaining momentum with
buzzwords like artificial intelligence
robotics and autonomous devices and
there’s talk that 5 million jobs will be
lost before ready 20 but on the flip
side about 2 million jobs
are going to be created from these new
feeds so I’ve decided to play futurist
we may require different thinking hats
for the challenges we already have
who knew that non-polluting mobility
would lead to Google hurry to these
strange positions and now this data
analysts are predicting that we’re gonna
have a workforce crisis in 2030 that’s
12 years from now and that’s exactly
when you will be a cohort of relatively
highly skilled digitally connected
subset wouldn’t this brine working age
so what skills should you have the
workforce of the future to Europe for
this next Industrial Revolution it’s
time to get away from the traditional
way we’ve been working maybe not five or
six days a week but spending 60% of our
time doing our work and 40% of the time
learning and since AI and robotics are
going to take care of the repetitive
tasks there’s enough of time to do
moonshot thinking after all it’s time to
build the – oops
the flying taxis Vitelli present evolved
into inorganic life-forms and transcend
the boundaries of our planet
Lincoln says that job titles are out and
agglomeration of skills including
communication and critical thinking is

amazing culture has already began begun
with the education that you’ve been
getting equipping you to enter the
workforce you will have overlapping
skills transferable and adaptable to
rescaling for newer opportunities
