What Skills Will Matter Most in the Future?

There is no single permanent list of future skills.

The exact requirements will differ by industry and occupation.

However, several broad capabilities are likely to remain valuable because they help people operate in changing environments.

These include:

  • analytical thinking
  • creative thinking
  • communication
  • problem-solving
  • adaptability
  • learning ability
  • leadership
  • collaboration
  • technological literacy
  • domain expertise

The strongest career strategy is not to chase every new skill.

Instead, identify:

What is changing in your field?

Then ask:

Which capabilities will help me contribute in that changing environment?
