Based on the authors' in-depth research of more than ten professions, and illustrated by numerous examples from each, this is the first book to assess and question the relevance of the professions in the 21st centuryThey are particular harsh on the "shroud of mystery [that] is thrown over certain institutions, protecting them from challenge and changeThey quote Robert Winston "There are lots of ways of being smart that aren't smart like us", and Richard Feynman "it is not necessary to understand the lever system in the legs of a cheetah, in order to make an automobile with wheels that goes very fast."They aren't forecasting change overnight, but are forecasting that when (and in their view it is when, not if) change comes, it will be fundamental:"We regard the professions as likely to last longer in their current form than most other occupations.we cannot emphasize strongly enough that we are not predicting that the professions will disappear over the next few yearsNot long after the minimum wage increased to $15, kiosks have been ordered and installed in some areas across the U.STwo interesting areas are: their consideration of how a pipeline of future experts will be maintained (they suggest three ideas: a return to apprenticeship, parallel checking of the work of the automated systems and e-learning); what future skills may replace those of professionals (they argue for a range of roles: craftspeople the real remaining experts, assistants and para-professionals, empathizers to deliver difficult advise (they argue that few existing professionals have great skills here), R&D workers, knowledge engineers, process analysts, moderators (of on line communities/Wikis), designers, system providers, data scientists, system engineers.Overall an extremely thought provoking bookDaniel and Richard explain the concept of the grand bargain and how the common people have given over permission and authority to professionalsThis is followed by an excellent section summarising patterns which seem to apply across the professions: the move away from bespoke services, bypassed gatekeepers, the more-for-less procurement challenge, technological transformation (automation and the different concept of innovation) emerging skills (new communication techniques, data mastery, use of technology, diversification), the reconfiguration of work (routinization, disintermediation, decomposition), new labour models (offshoring/arbitrage, para-professionals, flexible self-employment), more options for recipients (online selection and self-help plus open source collaboration), new preoccupations of professional firms (liberalisation, globalisation, specialisation, new business models, fewer partnerships and consolidation) and an overall trend of demystification.The second section of the book is perhaps the least enjoyable (and best read as reference) setting out two key sets of background theories on how information/technology and the production/distribution of knowledge have, are and will evolve
They go on to discuss seven different models to make practical expertise available in societySnyder The News Media C.WJan 01, 2016 Paul Fulcher rated it really liked it Shelves: 2016 Richard and Daniel Susskind are a father and son teamMore When first set up, APPSI was called the Advisory Panel on Crown CopyrightEmail: danielsusskindgmail.com Website: www.danielsusskind.com Follow Daniel LinkedIn Twitter I couldn't finish itRead more about Richards speaking engagements By way of example, as well as many keynotes at law firm partnership conferences, the following are some of the recent lectures he has given: Keynote Address - American Bar Association, National Summit, Stanford University (May, 2015) Plenary Lecture, Global Law Summit, London (February, 2015) Richard Davies Memorial Lecture, London (November, 2014) Keynote Address - Executive Lawyers' Thought Forum, Macau (Oct 2014) Keynote Address - A Celebration of Web Science, London (June 2014) Keynote Address - Reinvent Law, New York (Feb 2014) Larry Hoffman Distinguished Lecture, Miami Law (Oct 2013) Marshall Criser Distinguished Lecture, University of Florida (Sep 2013) Keynote Address - Law Tech Institute, Suffolk University, Boston (April 2013) Keynote Address Law Via the Internet Conference, Cornell University (October 2012) Levitt Lecture 2012, University of Iowa (October 2012) Kelley Lecture 2012, University of Michigan (September 2012) Keynote Address American Bar Association Conference for Deans of US Law Schools, Seattle, US (January 2012) Bracton Lecture, Exeter University, (November 2011) Keynote Address Association Corporate Counsel Conference, Berlin (May, 2011) Keynote Address LawWithoutWalls, Inaugural event, London (January 2011) Opening address UCL Judicial Institute launch, London (November 2010) Keynote Address Conference of International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, New York (January 2010) Keynote Address - Canadian Bar Association Conference, Toronto (November 2009) He also hold professorships at UCL, Gresham College, London, and the University of Strathclyde in GlasgowIn 5 studies, participants either saw an algorithm make forecasts, a human make forecasts, both, or neitherIt is a more efficient version of what we have todayHowever, its underlying thesis is timely and prescient; maybe preparing kids for the uncertainty of life in an era of technological unemployment and a near jobless future will require the (re)teaching of basic hunter and gatherer survival skills? Lets hope the machines treat us nicelyFurthermore, some arguments presented to address concerns with, for example, technological unemployment and overly simplistic and riddled with false assumptions 3c157b94b8
