Extract from ProSearch’s article “Announcing the Release of Our Groundbreaking White Paper for the Legal Industry, ‘Metaskills for the Future-Ready Team'”
Since the skills needed for professional success today are different than they were in the past, attracting, retaining and developing talent has evolved. Recognizing this shift, especially with new tools and technology available today, ProSearch, the Cowen Group and a team of professionals from leading Fortune 500 corporations came together to produce a guide for the legal industry to prepare the future-ready team. We’re thrilled to be announcing its release today.
As businesses face rapid technological advancements and shifts from the pandemic, there’s a growing emphasis on developing metaskills to keep pace with future demands. According to reports by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey, crucial skills include creative thinking, adaptability, and technological literacy. McKinsey has coined these skills as DELTAs (Distinct Elements of Talent), which blend skills and attitudes across cognitive, digital, interpersonal, and self-leadership categories. Our working group pinpointed ten essential metaskills that we discuss in-depth in the white paper: data literacy, adaptability, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, creative thinking, teamwork, leadership, cultural intelligence, self-management, and lifelong learning.
Data and digital literacy top this list because the ability to interpret and use data effectively is crucial in today’s tech-driven world. Teams equipped with these skills can leverage data to make informed decisions and innovate. Adaptability and flexibility are equally important, helping professionals thrive amid constant change.
