The next wave of disruption

The Next Wave.

We are constantly bombarded with news around the current platforms creating disruption. We all know them (sharing, connecting, aggregating, etc).

Today's blog post is not about these current disruptions. What I want to start is a deeper contemplation as to what the potential next wave of disruption will be.

Most of the people who read this will have spent the last 10 to 30 years honing an extremely sharp set of specific skills that is very marketable. If you have analysed the job market trends, you are probably also spending a lot of time collaborating with other professionals at the top of their game. You are probably collaborating, not competing.

Consider this:
With over 7 billion people on the planet, your skills, abilities and experience are not completely unique. If you are lucky, you just happen to be the only person in your local area with them.

What if you were able to convert all those skills, abilities and experience into a system / platform to allow others to operate at close to your capability? Lessor skilled or experienced people would be able to follow your framework to execute at a higher level and help them grow. I am currently dealing with companies who are building these Software as a Service (SAAS) platforms to replace highly skilled and difficult to recruit positions and allow those roles to be executed by more junior people who can grow into those roles over time.

If you are not creating a disruptive platform out of your unique skills, abilities and experience off the back of your personal brand, someone else will and YOU personally will be disrupted.

Be ready to surf that future wave or make sure you have your tissues packed.

Have a great day!
