    A tough journey about to commence; Deeper understanding necessary with proven competency to appreciate rise on diversity, tolerance and equality issues adding critical thinking to face the truth and to march forward. A positive world awaits positive and collaborative actions.

    The Tribulations

    For the first time ever during the last 100 years, suddenly across the western world downtown started to go dim. Tall office towers go empty, retail shops go under, businesses close for good, pandemic displaced, technology replaced and bad HR misplaced workers find no job continuity, remote-work-based economies linger a decade in recovery while political leaderships under extreme stress appears desperate for workable solutions, the majority of lifestyles across the world changed forever.

    Many other further issues added, like death and depressions, inequalities, brutalities and dysfunctionalities, all testing emotional endurance, integrity and humankind. Hidden behind the twilight zones a new life emerges, calling for the braves, the warriors ready to advance and lead a forward march.

    The Triangulations

    For the first time ever during the last 100 years, “Work + Space + Health + Money” all so suddenly and intensely combined as one mammoth universal calamity, now squeezing out new thinking while “creative” triangulations open up brand-new options and some amazing pictures appear.

    Example; office and work both may morph into permanent and respectable remote protocols, altering downtowns, changing real estate models, creating booming suburbia living in far and remote places, impacting traffic and mobility patterns, while all human-performances are super accessible via digital platforms. This is the unique and dramatic shift on human productivity and competency measurements. What amazing new small and large-scale opportunities are there as the global polarisation of human behaviour shifts? Flatness of management, remoteness of productivity performance and new measurements on work and rewards are game changers. What emerging economies can do today?

    Example; political leaders have new options and may jump into the future while declaring new vision and solutions over fixing and mending old structures and models. Such dramatic strategies may open new corridors of success, depending on the nation, resulting in winning streaks and creating better economies. What better times to challenge old models and table new revolutionary ideas and dramatically upskill front line management? On the economic development fronts the lack of global-age skills are openly visible across 200 nations. What special skills are missing at this level?

    Example; the human race needs travel as a basic necessity, the distance, range, frequency and methods of transportations are all open to new models. Brave and bold discussions needed to open new windows to traditional millennia old pathways, and caravans. A new science and series of creative strategies needed, as the post-vaccination world will remain very cautious for a decade provided there are no other pandemics. What new roles surround this vacuum?

    Example; education is often skill-less exercise in need of battlefields. Pandemic battlefields demand skilled warriors to save economies create exporters and bring foreign exchange to homelands. A dramatic shift needed to adapt to economic systems based on ‘real-value-creation’ and not ‘value-manipulations’ and to deploy national trade houses, like chambers and associations on global-age marketing progressions.

    The post vaccination world needs lesser education and skills that are more special; pragmatic, productive and profitable, maxi-mini-micro-upskilling and reskilling and eliminating multi-year university cruising. The challenges are to bring real and proven entrepreneurialism into colleges and universities and unless taught by decade plus hard-core raw business experiences, business education is becoming an expensive liability. What new revolutionary ideas will help a billion workers on upskilling and reskilling?

    Example; big and small trade events and thought leadership forums caught into zoomerang virtual culture frenzy. The high cost of travel and lack of bold contents were always the lingering challenges, now demands real contents, high quality narratives and real value offerings the event industry is simply sinking. Those prepared to triangulate revolutionary contents with senior level virtualisation of economies may create an edge. What level of authority and quality needed to create new platforms?

    Example; the future of the world is digital; paper-based economies will end up in waste-paper-baskets. Virtualisation of economies are new fronts calling special skill combinations. The challenges are to convert denials into positive mobilization of small medium business economies across nations. Maybe, the only way left for them to start on a new page. The global rate of accelerated performance after full vaccination will crush 50% of the paper-based economies. How fast will mobilization of SME+MFG base help struggling economies?

    Relentless in pursuit and authoritative with action, Expothon Worldwide is tabling a very special and bold agenda and starting a high-level global series of virtual events starting summer of 2021. Going forward, the virtualisation of the national economies will boost vertical sectors to new heights, globalization creates new links to global exportability, therefore, grassroots prosperity and upskilled performance must adjust to absorb the new loads.

    The Transformations

    For the first time in 100 years, globally speaking, awakening of a new world emerges, dragging mummified truth still entombed in cyberspace as forbidden narratives, regurgitating for the right questions awaiting new enlightenments to foster common good. Fast and slow transformations will change our future, our lifestyles demands and places surrounding become unrecognisable.

    A tough journey about to commence; Deeper understanding necessary with proven competency to appreciate rise on diversity, tolerance and equality issues adding critical thinking to face the truth and to march forward. A positive world awaits positive and collaborative actions.
    The rest is easy.
