INDUSTRY 4.0 : WHEN TOMORROW COME
IFIM Business School, Bangalore, India, in association with National Human Resources Development Network (NHRDN) undertook an exhaustive initiative in 2018 to reach out to 292 industry executives to identify the skills required for Industry 4.0.

They organised three round-table discussions in Bengaluru,
Mumbai and Delhi in India. Participants included 43 senior executives and 18 chief executive officers.
The study identified the following needs for Industry 4.0
- Learning orientation and analytical mindset
- Integration of data, communication and technology
- Solution orientation and problem solving
- Dealing with change and uncertainty (unstructured situation)
- People and team orientation
- Innovation and creativity – entrepreneurial orientation
- Social sensitivity and cross-cultural orientation
- Managing self (self-awareness, self-development including wellness)
- Business orientation – multidisciplinary approach
- Globalization
The first change will have to be the curriculum. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the curriculum should facilitate the process of “discovery” – encouraging “exploration” and “experimentation”. Students should be able to customize their learning pathways depending on their style, pace and learning orientation.
The findings showed that future professionals will be “T-shaped”, combining both a liberal mindset covering a wide breadth of knowledge across disciplines and in-depth knowledge in a specialized area.
The research also revealed a need for re-skilling at various levels, the emergence of a multi-generation workforce, wellness as an important element of self-management, and solutions or problem solving as the critical skill set required for Industry 4.0.
The study pointed out that technological disruptions may result in professionals finding themselves becoming “irrelevant”. Hence, “learning to learn” or learning orientation will be key for future professionals to remain relevant.
This skill set can be achieved only when institutions make major initiatives in education that will prepare students for the “future of work”. This will entail educational institutions investing in education that prepares graduates to embrace change and be life-long learners. Institutions will require a rebooting of their curricula pedagogy of teaching/learning and faculty.

How does the liberal professional framework of Vijaybhoomi University help a student?
|
|
|
|
The liberal-professional framework of education is used to build a unique curriculum aligned to industry 4.0. A curriculum that facilitates the process of self-discovery in the initial year and thereafter the choice of majors and minors to prepare oneself for high-demand careers in data science, artificial intelligence, business, law, music, and design. It enables students to learn things that excite them and aid the students in their journey of self-discovery.
The first two years at Vijaybhoomi University are discovery years wherein students will be permitted to choose, and experience levels 1 and 2 courses offered across different baskets of the various schools of the University. The objective of the discovery years would be to facilitate the exploration of different areas of one’s interest aligned with the multiple intelligence framework. This will also unfold the inherent strength of an individual out of the eight multiple intelligence dimensions. The journey in the initial 2 years in the undergraduate program is expected to ignite the mind of our students and help them discover their purpose in life. The journey will be anchored by experienced professionals/entrepreneurs to mentor and coach the student as they traverse across these two years.
