Whether you are a mining organization looking at automated trucks, a real estate firm deploying an internal social network, a warehouse looking to leverage wearable devices, an agricultural company exploring the internet of things, or a hospital interested in teaming up with IBM Watson, every single company today is a technology company. Organization's must embrace this new way of thinking because when we look at the future of work, technology is one of the most disruptive factors that also yields the greatest opportunities."

"Costing less than 10 cents to manufacture, the company envisions the device being embedded into products as they move around the supply chain. The computer's sensing, processing, and communicating capabilities mean it could effectively turn every item in the supply chain into an Internet of Things device, producing highly granular supply chain data that could streamline business operations. But more importantly, the computer could be a critical element of IBM's efforts to apply blockchain technology to the supply chain."

"This report is the result of a research partnership between Burning Glass Technologies, BHEF, and IBM, motivated by the need to close the data science and analytics skills gap through data driven insights and increased collaboration between higher education and industry. It defines the data science and analytics (DSA) landscape, presents research findings about the skill gap, adds context to the DSA jobs and skills that are disrupters, and offers recommendations to alleviate the DSA talent shortage."

What were you doing in 1983? Even if you were already born, of adult age, and at the leading edge of technology, marveling at the revolutionary new Lotus 1-2-3 software on your IBM PC, you almost certainly weren't launching a web startup. Unless you happened to be French.
