Robots, AI, automation—many jobs will change as a result of these technologies. Some may even disappear. But if history is right, most changes will be good ones.

The future will need everyone to unleash their creative potential to solve complex problems, make new connections and generate ideas. The future is creative.
People know what they don’t want at work—a sea of bland, uniform spaces where ideas go to die.
