Last week, I had the opportunity to speak with a group of bright engineering students at Nirma University about the evolving world of work.

While technical expertise remains essential, the accelerating pace of AI and automation in nearly every field means that adaptability, creativity, and collaboration will be even more critical by the time they graduate.

At a time when the shelf life of skills is becoming shorter, meta skills, the deeper and transferable capabilities that enable us to learn, unlearn and relearn are timeless.

As Tom Peters put it,

    “The number one premise of business is that it is changing, and unless you are devoted to learning, you have no chance of staying on top.”

With an intent of providing a useful and memorable model for students to use, I focused on three meta-skills for lifelong learning – here in form of a mindmapped sketchnote.
