The ability of a specialist to combine (summarize) particular facts into a big picture, build hierarchical levels for understanding various situations (economic, political, business) and making long-term decisions. An important quality is the understanding of how a change in one element will subsequently affect other elements.

The importance of systemic thinking is increasing due to the acceleration of changes in life, the need to learn new professions, as well as the growing interpenetration of various areas in each other (social networks, economics, politics, production, etc.).

Specialists with systemic thinking skills will be able to solve such problems, make strong long-term decisions in the context of rapid changes in the economy, diagnose large technical and social systems, make decisions on eliminating the root causes that hinder development, and this skill will allow for the integration of various project teams into a single working organism.

This area includes a variety of skills related to the development and adjustment of artificial intelligence systems, the adjustment and tuning of robots, the development of programs for controlling production processes and individual machines.

Automation and robotization rapidly penetrate into all areas, including manufacturing. It is expected that in 15-20 years, machines will replace a person in most routine operations that do not require creative skills. Therefore, the need for specialists with these skills will grow in all sectors. It is these specialists who will have to ensure the massive arrival of machines in all sectors of the economy.

Automation of production will eliminate the human factor and increase labor productivity where routine operations are present that do not require special training and creative skills. Specialists will be in demand not in the main production, but in the field of servicing and tuning machines, robots and systems that make algorithmic decisions.

Multiculturalism is the preservation and development in a particular community (state or enterprise) of the cultural characteristics of the people there. Multiculturalism and multilingualism at the enterprise involves not only the consideration of national or religious cultures, but also cultures of thinking, psychotypes, communications and individual characteristics.

The modern world is becoming global at a rapid pace. Already now is no exception a company in which specialists who are born or reside in different parts of the earth work. The policy of multiculturalism and multilingualism sets the vector for the interaction of dissimilar people: not to conflict, but to recognize each other.

The changes taking place today pose new, unprecedented hitherto challenges. It is generally recognized that the most effective solutions are born at the intersection of different areas of knowledge, approaches, and cultures. The most effective teams include people with different characteristics of thinking, psychology, distribution of roles in the team. Multicultural teams will be able to find effective unusual solutions and even solve problems that still cannot be solved.

They understand customer focus as the ability to work with customer requests, the ability of the company and employees to timely determine the desires of customers in order to satisfy them with their products or services with maximum benefit. This competency has become critical to the success of companies, competition for consumers is growing all the time, and all employers want to see customer-oriented employees. In the second half of the 20th century, the concept of an internal client appeared, i.e. an intermediate consumer located further along the production chain within the same company. Possession of this competency allows you to accurately understand the client’s request and offer the most suitable solution for him, as well as to build the production and service process more rationally, eliminating the stages that are not important for the client.

Intersectoral communication consists in understanding technologies, processes and the market situation in various related and non-adjacent industries, cross-functional and cross-disciplinary interaction. More and more advanced products are created at the junction of different industries and specialists need the ability to understand several areas of knowledge at the same time. This competency allows you to learn faster, take the best from different fields, and through this mutual enrichment, ensure development within your field. Those with such competence can create unexpected, unique, breakthrough solutions.
