National agenda: export, survive or die

Trade wars are proofs of poor skills to produce exportable global quality and real value; skill wars are first to fix the internal working-citizenry into becoming world-class exporting champions. Economies flourish when global exportability of goods and services blossom, slither and die slowly, when absent. Study the atlas, carefully. Open debates on such revolutionary ideas are critical. A new world of global commerce is upon us and any lacks of skills on exportability are highly noticeable.

During recent decades, economies all over the world, were too slow to understand ‘soft-power-asset-management’ the art of imagining things over ‘hard-asset-centricity’ where staying deeply stuck to old routines on old factory floors is rewarded. This is like when forbidden are the bicycle makers to dream of ‘drones’ or flying cars. Some 100 millions small and large plants around the world are badly stuck in old groves of decades old mentality, unable to transform to the meaning of global-age, unable to rapidly optimize to grow to new heights with new global age thinking and execution. Machinery and production often becomes useless and a liability when special skills to understand global stage presentation, quality design, logic and image are not delivered. Proof of such bad production as absence of exports points to critical needs to rapid transformation to uplift national working citizenry on a massive mobilization basis. Imagine all that wasted potential, talent and machinery, infrastructure under dead weight of old mentality still logged into hard-assets… deeper studies are critical.

Next: A Global Revolution of Mind

Self-discovery commitment poised to find all hidden exportability potentials,

Self-optimization to deploy all new skills for maximum design and production potentials

Realization of producing extreme-value on all goods and services for maximum profits

Realization of producing extreme-image-positioning to attract global markets

Market navigation to reach global corners and quadruple exportability

Understanding value-creation to achieve local grassroots prosperity

Entrepreneurial living and learning to live in harmony, diversity and tolerance

Establishing 24x7x365 lifelong strategies to adopt, change and survive the future

Digital Platforms to enable global bounce on global trade and showcasing

Rest is easy

Innovative thinking, hard core innovations, global image positioning and world-class transformation of internal working-citizenry to stand-up to global competitions and quadruple exportability are all soft-power-assets-managements issues

As new measurements of success; nations are now required to prove their mastery of transforming their own working-citizenry capable of global age skills with lifelong learning? To ensure a nation ending up with soft-power-assets and to become globally agile on trade and claim their global image supremacy of innovative excellence, leaving far behind hard-asset-centric traditionally structured economies based on short-term profit results.

New models of creating national wealth and identity; If investing only on selected lower hanging fruits is considered a good strategy, now investing more into hidden jungles and new trees while they grow into new fruitful heights will become an even smarter strategy. Building a soft-power-asset-centric society is much better over maintaining large industrial age complexes. Economies will increasingly face restless youth and anxious citizenry and there is nothing more critical than creating nationwide grassroots prosperity, all via lifelong learning and uplifting fear of automation, because displaced citizenry needs protection. As the cycle of laborious-work are getting replaced by smart-work while smart-work getting replaced by smarter machines, the ‘Masters of Robots’ will be the new smart unlearners, the ‘Slaves of Robots’ will be the deniers of change.

Critical Observations: Why immediate replacement of old education system around the world with new global-age transformation has become so necessary? It’s a liability on national productivity, it’s a burden of debt on the emerging youth of any nation and it’s rotten from the inside damaging economic philosophies in silence of the day.

Nations without massive internal digitization will not survive,

Nations without creating grassroots prosperity will end up in populism

Nations without skilled citizenry will not be able to export to full potential

Nations without such debates on survival are only proving their own incompetence

Innovative thinking, hard core innovations, global image positioning and world-class transformation of internal working-citizenry to stand-up to global competitions and quadruple exportability are all soft-power-assets-managements issues…study deeply on Google

Most of these dramatic changes are not necessarily new funding dependent, rather they are decision hungry and good execution starved. So what’s stopping all this? NOW, this can be a wake-up call for economies of the world; rethinking, reprioritizing, reinvesting and reinventing investable all over.
