in a Digital Age
Cameron Stewart
Head of PPM Product
Development at AXELOS
• AXELOS
• Me
Welcome
• “Dude, strange things are afoot at the Circle K.”
Important Quote…
• We’re leaving the Industrial Age
• This is probably the “Network Age”…
• … or it might be the “Social Age”
• Rise of AI
• Importance of relating to the user rather than the product
• And all this Agile stuff
A New Epoch
• No longer recruiting tech skills
– They go out of date
– No-one does one job for life anymore
– People need to be available to help in any way
– Machine support for workers is growing
– We can train the right people in the tech if needed
• Now focussed on
– Organisational fit
– Capability
– Ability to grow into new work as it arises
• Transferable skills, knowledge and experience are vital
Teams Are Changing
• And what about Artificial Intelligence?
• No more education required?
• Maybe we won’t need to learn because the machine
“knows”
• We’ll just need to know how to use the machine in the
most efficient way
• [Or maybe we will just leave the machines to it]
AI and the Middle Distance
• Bill (quotes So-cratz):
"The only true wisdom
consists in knowing that
you know nothing".
• Ted: That's us, dude.
The Long Term
