Business will need more skilled manpower with competencies that can make the business more agile and relevant. The need for competence management will be a great challenge.

Thus the need to manage aspirations and ambitions of baby boomers; Millennials and Generation X. (3) Being creative continuously and consistently will be the third big challenge.
