AI-Upskilling & AI-Reskilling At Universities And Business Schools Is a Waste of Time, Energy & Money In The Online Gig Economy
How are you? Enjoying work or are you less calm now because of the possible consequences of the perfect storm after the war in Ukraine started and the impact of the democratization of AI and The Great AI-Layoff for the future of your own work and income in the future?
Why? Well, what continues to strike me is also on LinkedIn is that corporate labor market experts and corporate recruiters are still pretending that there are enough permanent jobs for higher educated staff and that if you resign voluntarily Leaving The Corporate Rat Race or if you risk losing your job in The Great AI Layoff, you therefor have to focus completely on a corporate LinkedIn profile. To increase the chance of a permanent job with large companies and with the government.
Why? Because the number of permanent corporate and ‘fat firm jobs’ for which you need specific corporate Ai soft and AI hard skills and corporate diplomas is decreasing rapidly and the number of people with the same experience and the same diploma’s is still increasing rapidly.
What you need to do and fast is define the career change that is right for you, defining your personal right-skilling plan and start it….fast. This is how you can do that:

Many corporates have to change from growth strategies to survival strategies and fast:
And they are rapidly laying off many managers and employees, even in ICT.
So less and less corporate demand and more and more corporate supply.
Traditional outplacement was a waste of my valuable time, energy and money.
Like many highly educated people in traditional large organizations, I left ABN Amro in 2011 and had to go through a traditional corporate outplacement program in preparation for my departure in the second half of 2011 (see here).
I already knew, among other things, because I had started as an online entrepreneur since 2001 as my online plan-b, that that was a waste of valuable time, money and energy of ABN Amro, but also of myself. Why? Because even then the chance for someone like me, highly educated and over 40, to find a new similar job with a similar salary was practically zero. But more importantly, I didn’t want to work in a big, bureaucratic ‘fat firm’ anymore with predominant old-school managers like at ABN Amro after 2008. I wanted a different life for myself and for my family. And there was another reason.

Because I’d been working on my ‘online plan-b’ since 2001 and had loved helping writing and selling my own digital products and especially my short e-books online from home as online solopreneur with my own virtual business ecosystem with trusted suppliers, strategic partners & online freelancers worldwide.
And those practical experiences with earning money online as a side-hustle’ in the online gig economy (yes already then) from home based on my own personal right-skilling plan and my own experiences and those of many peers ‘from banker to self-employed person ‘ have helped me immensely. Especially since the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis, since the war in Ukraine. And since the democratization of AI started in 2022. Using the virtual organization as structure with hybrid working, working at home online and working with virtual teams:
Since then I have called this approach ‘Outplacement 2.0’ as part of your personal and professional quit-your-job pivoting your life journey. And in particular focusing on just-in-time right-skilling entrepreneurs.
