Developing Competencies for Industry 4.0 and the New
Normal

According to World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs
Report, due to the adoption of technology increases,
there are around 50% of all workers will require
reskilling by 2025. There are two top the list of skills
employers will grow by 2025: critical thinking and
problem solving.
Critical thinking and problem-solving top the list of
skills employers believe will grow in prominence in the
next five years. Newly emerging this year are skills in
self-management such as active learning, resilience,
stress tolerance and flexibility.

There are a lot of definitions about competency, such as:
• Describes what people need to be able to do to perform their jobs well
(Armstrong, 1998)
• Demonstrated ability including knowledge, skills, and attitudes to perform
a task successfully according to the standards (Porasmaa and Kotonen,
2010)
• A combination of resources and capabilities within an organisation (Hitt
et.al, 2005)
• Refer to skills or knowledge that leads to superior performance (Richey
et.al, 2007)

In the previous research (Sangka, B., Rahman, S, Jie, F., (2019), we proposed the
competency framework for operations managers in logistics providers:
• Management dimension, which has 5 different competencies (leadership,
people management, teamwork and communication, change management
and negotiation)
