Drs Schuster & Oxley
Artificial Death of a Career
A Tale of Professional Obsolescence and How to Avoid it
Over the past 100,000 years humanity has proven its ability to successfully navigate change. From the wheel, gunpowder, printing press, through the industrial revolution, and the internet, our species has demonstrated an admirable, dogged, stubborn, Darwinian capability to adapt and flourish.
So, when faced with the current AI inspired wave of work disruption why are so many of us so anxious? Why do some of us feel so powerless?
If personal change and reinvention were easy… everyone would do it!
Through their hugely popular and entertaining Shey Sinope fable, Drs Schuster & Oxley explore the subject of professional adaptation, reinvention, and renewal. They explore what separates those of us who frame change as opportunity versus threat. In the process, they provide a personal roadmap to keep your professional skills relevant, vibrant, and in demand.
Every major inflection in human history has left some people behind. Follow Shey Sinope in Artificial Death of a Career, as he fights to discover who is to blame when he falls victim to the AI revolution. In the process, you will emerge entertained, amused, but more importantly far better equipped to ensure your career is future ready!
