The future ain't what it used to be
By Amazon Customer on October 9, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Brilliant discussion on the disruption of knowledge work and knowledge workers. The author's predictions have massive implications for clients, practitioners, firms, universities, professional associations and regulators. At a personal level, the book has really makes me reflect on the doors that are likely to open and close for my children, what they should study, and how they should think about their careers.

Thanks to the late Yogi Berra for the heading of this review (http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/sep/23/the-quotable-yogi-berri-the-20-most-memorable-yogi-isms)

Intriguing, and thought provoking book.
By Amazon Customer on November 13, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
The Future of Professions really makes you look at how social classes have been changing throughout history, and how professionals now are looked upon compared to professionals before. It also points out how where you go to school, who you know, how good you are can impact professionals, past, present and future with the elitist mentality.

This is an interesting book that really takes a look at the future of a list of professions. I found this intriguing especially since there has been some changes recently impacting jobs like a cashier at McDonald's. Not long after the minimum wage increased to $15, kiosks have been ordered and installed in some areas across the U.S. to replace the cashiers. This is not one of the top careers, but if this can happen here, what other jobs can be replaced by a machine in the future? A kiosk is still a pretty simple machine and will only improve. We are surrounded by smart technology everywhere we go, and it just keeps getting smarter.

Daniel and Richard explain the concept of the grand bargain and how the common people have given over permission and authority to ‘professionals’. The authors explain that this bargain has effectively given the keys to a number of professionals who make a lot of money from society because we are entirely dependent upon them for their knowledge, experience and expertise. They go on to discuss seven different models to make practical expertise available in society. One is the traditional model currently being used, while the others are future possibilities dependent upon technological advances.

The implications in this book are a little scary to think about, especially how any changes might impact my family.
