A Note from Your future Self | Can You Ignore it ?

We keep working hard, really hard. So many days, weeks away from home and family! Manage, fix and conquer so many situations and challenges! Gather all kinds of experiences, exposures, skills, knowledge - Subject matter, Domain, Functional and then suddenly one fine day, we realise....

A set of new techs are busy disrupting our career, our position, our place, 'our relevance' in the Organisation, Business Ecosystem and the World!

Many a times we tend to ignore the initial symptoms just like any other physical ailment and then it strikes hard, really hard and it feels sudden but it never was....We allowed the Build Up...

Getting superseded, Missing a promotion or worse, a notice period or an instant pink slip!

So what's the solution ? Fear surely isn't!

Let's get friendly with these tech ? One need not be afraid of them. This post is not an insurance ad stoked by fear psychosis! This is WAF! You are amongst friends and well-wishers!

So here it goes....

AI has become the most abused buzzword. Even Digital marketing Cos conveniently suffix AI to sound high tech and geeky to their clients. But what are the real use cases of AI @ Automotive and Mobility ? How can one action AI at workplace to stay relevant and meaningful ? What is the operating knowledge and the related skills one needs to acquire ? Can someone simply explain AI via examples, use cases and thus demystify it all! Yeah we all love being spoon fed! Well why not!

Similarly what's up with this Blockchain ? Is it just Crypto currencies and exchanges ? Every second day, we hear cryptos being stolen from exchanges or their founders doing frauds. So how safe is blockchain ? Can it be really applied to an enterprise ?

Have you heard of Vehicle passports powered by Blockchain ? It's all set to transform the vehicle ownership landscape and we at WAF are ready to explain, elaborate and debrief!

And this cloud computing ? Hey, hasn't it been around for more than two decades now ? What's the big deal ?

Ok , time for fact-check and a peak into the future...

AI, Blockchain, Cloud are the new ABC of tech which shall disrupt the way we work, operate in the next few years. Especially the sweet spot of these tech which can fuel many powerful applications for the industry!

These ABC Tech are transforming Supply Chains, Finance, R&D, Product Testing and Validation, Production, Maintenance, Sales & Marketing, Retail, Customer Services, Experiences faster than ever before!?

And interestingly we aren't even scratching the surface of these ABC Tech.

So what shall we do ?

In a simplified way, we need to learn to adapt, adopt and apply these new tech in our world.
