The Digital Revolution• In the UK more than 10m jobs will either

disappear of radically change in the next 10 years

• There are more than 100m people in the Logistics industry in India. Most of them with little or no education

• Automation and Artificial Intelligence will transform Logistics and Transport

• What ever knowledge we have today, it wont be enough to help us do our jobs in 10 years
