Change Itself Has Changed!
• Change actually follows patterns of momentous, seemingly unpredictable and abrupt shift
• At breakpoint, the rule change is so sharp that use of old rules not only doesn’t work, it acts as a barrier to success
• Nature parts with the past

“Modifications of our thinking patterns will not work. This new era requires a radical
rethinking of the most basic and foundational ways we view the world.”
--Breakpoint and Beyond, Mastering the Future Today, 1992

Breakpoint Principles
(1) Create what has never existed before(2) Make deep and powerful interdependent
connections with one another(3) Be pulled into a new kind of future, not
pushed by the past

Are We at a Breakpoint?
From Saturday (July 9) NYT:• The unemployment rate rise to 9.2%. “Economists
were stunned.”• “This fall, for the first time, the University of
California will take in more from student tuition than state finances.”
• Regarding the last shuttle flight: “These days, my pet fantasy for exploring the universe is downloading human consciousness to machines.”

Labor Force Growth Is About To Slow Sharply

Some Other Considerations In The Labor Market
• More retirees and fewer younger workers should improve opportunities for job seekers
• But employers may respond in other ways1. Increase focus on productivity gains, filling jobs on less than
a one-for-one basis2. Relocate jobs to other, more favorable labor markets3. Recruit workers from other markets
• Alternative responses may be heightened with a growing skills mismatch.

The Old Normal+ The Great Recession
+ Long Run Demographic Changes= The New Normal

Forces for change are heightened during periods of economic stress
Wholesale program changes will happenDisruptive changes are not evolutionarySome game changers will occur There will be short term losers as well as winnersA set of new opportunities are revealed
Creative Destruction/Disruptive Innovation Will Occur

• Knowledge of mechanical and electrical engineering processes
• Ability to work with computerized systems• Ability to read and write machine programming code• Ability to read manufacturing blueprints• Ability to operate automated manufacturing systems• Understanding of hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical
systems
What are some of the skills that modern manufacturers look for?

Concept DesignAssignment: Design a learning path for this student, based
on the selected occupation. 1. What assumptions about the future are you basing your
design on? (e.g., demographic, fiscal, economic, technology)2. What skills and knowledge will the student have acquired
from K-12?3. How does the student gain an understanding of the
knowledge/skills needed to make sound career/education choices?
4. Describe the interface between employment and education. 5. What does the student’s post-secondary education look like—
how is it delivered; when?6. How much does post-secondary cost and who pays for it?

Six Scenarios: Rules
1. Forget your pet ideas.2. As unknowable as the future is, base your concept on
realistic assumptions for the future (e.g., demographic change, crazy changes in technology, institutional capacities for change).
3. Design something you’d be proud of.4. Don’t get tripped up in the details of implementation.5. Have fun!
