If AI is the future (while also in the present), what skills become vital to succeed?
As a “good enough” consultant, you know there is much more to your job than your pure technical abilities. Sure, you know Salesforce well. But that’s just the start.
As mentioned before, you need to have skills in four main categories:
- Technical knowledge
- Industry knowledge
- Interpersonal skills
- Personal skills
According to page 41 of The Future of Jobs Report 2025, produced by The World Economic Forum, core skills that are vital in the age of AI include
- Creative thinking
- Resilience, flexibility, and agility
- Curiosity and lifelong learning
- Analytical thinking
Notice how these core skills line up nicely with those in the category “personal skills”? That’s not a coincidence.
The takeaway
If you’re not developing these skills yet, start now.
