The key word here is ‘efficiency.’ The industrial Revolution introduced a new era of production manufacturing, and paved the path to innovation. The introduction of the first intelligent data (computer) was in 1939 and the first automation system was in 1949. So this is not new. It just took us a few decades to realize its importance for fear of job loss. During the evolution of intelligent data, and its introduction it was often debated whether there would be job loss. But that was never the case, what it did instead was broaden our perspectives on what ‘quality of life’ was, our standard of living, and introduced new skills and job titles. A good example of this of the times changing perspectives was shown during the release of a 1957 film ‘Desk Set’ starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. The story line was: a television network plans to introduce a computer into their library research department, their librarians jump to the conclusion they are being replaced,- when in reality its being brought in to alleviate their work load.. Since that film debuted, our technology has gone leaps and bounds, beyond what could have been imagined during the 1950’s. Naturally, whenever change happens, employment practices change, restructuring occurs, followed quickly by the introduction of training programs and the introduction of new curriculums in educational institutions. And, with those changes came casualties in employment, but they came because the tide of change had flowed in too quickly for those who were not prepared for change. The positive to this, like any negative, you learn from your mistakes and know what you want and where you want to go with that experience. The untrained became trained, and in many cases better qualified. Employers, who had not been prepared hired qualified agencies that could provide the skills their company had lacked, and implemented new systems, products, and services that created new jobs. Their changes created stronger financial portfolios, some of them becoming leaders on the stock market. The need for competent ‘efficiency’ requiring Automation as the necessary tool to provide that efficiency, as I stated before, is by no means a new tool. It has been used frequently. Where it has not been used is in Healthcare lending dealings…until now with FundingDocs, to create a tailored seamless process for locating capital. by: Samuel Pagan ---------------- Featured LinkedIn Pulse response to: "we're hitting the road to report on the state of work.
