商品描述

 


The Industrial Age has taught us how to break problems into parts, but not how to build parts into solutions. We’re baffled when we’re confronted with complex challenges like recession, political gridlock, climate change, childhood obesity, pollution, and failing schools. We see them as separate ills, each requiring a separate remedy–if we can imagine a remedy at all.


Why are so many jobs disappearing? Why are a few people getting rich while the rest of us struggle? How can we pay for the costs of healthcare? Why can’t our trusted institutions behave ethically? What’s the cause of governmental gridlock? How can we afford to educate our children? How do we stop damaging the ecosystem? Why do we create ugliness?


Author Marty Neumeier suggests that these problems are merely symptoms of a much larger problem–our inability to deal with interconnected, non-linear, and amorphous challenges. It’s not that our problems are too difficult, he argues, but that our skills are too basic. Success in the post-industrial era demands that we move our thinking from the static, the linear, and the step-by-step to the dynamic, the holistic, and the all-at-once.


In this sweeping vision for personal mastery in a post-industrial era, Neumeier presents five metaskills–feeling, seeing, dreaming, making, and learning–that can help you reach your true potential. They’ll keep you two or three steps ahead of the machines, the algorithms, and the outsourcing forces of the “robot curve”. They’ll also bring you greater creativity, higher purpose, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.


Metaskills is more than a manifesto. It’s a compass for visionary leaders, policymakers, educators, and planners. It’s a creative framework for designers, engineers, scientists, and artists. It’s a picture of the future that allows people from a wide range of disciplines, industries, and professions to envision new ways to create value together. Perhaps more important, it’s a long-overdue examination of what it means to be human in the 21st century.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

工業時代教會我們如何將問題分解成部分,但卻沒有教會我們如何將部分組合成解決方案。當我們面對蕭條、政治僵局、氣候變化、兒童肥胖、污染和學校失敗等複雜挑戰時,我們感到困惑。我們將它們視為獨立的問題,每個問題都需要單獨的解決方案,如果我們能夠想像出解決方案的話。

為什麼有這麼多工作消失?為什麼只有少數人變得富有,而其他人卻在掙扎?我們如何支付醫療保健的成本?為什麼我們信任的機構無法道德行為?政府僵局的原因是什麼?我們如何負擔得起教育孩子的費用?我們如何停止破壞生態系統?為什麼我們創造醜陋?

作者Marty Neumeier認為,這些問題只是更大問題的症狀 - 我們無法應對相互關聯、非線性和無定形挑戰的能力。他認為,問題不是太難,而是我們的技能太基礎。在後工業時代取得成功要求我們將思維從靜態、線性和逐步的方式轉變為動態、整體和一次性的方式。

在這個關於個人掌握後工業時代的廣泛願景中,Neumeier提出了五種元技能 - 感受、觀察、夢想、創造和學習 - 可以幫助您達到真正的潛力。它們將使您比機器、算法和外包力量更提前兩三步。它們還將帶給您更大的創造力、更高的目標和更深層次的滿足感。

《元技能》不僅僅是一個宣言。它是一個指南,供有遠見的領導者、政策制定者、教育工作者和規劃者使用。它是一個創意框架,供設計師、工程師、科學家和藝術家使用。它是一個未來的圖景,讓來自各種學科、行業和專業的人們共同設想創造價值的新途徑。或許更重要的是,它是對21世紀人類意義的久違檢視。
