Racing for better risk control


I REFER to the report “Poll shows M’sian workers need tech know-how for IR4.0” (The Star, Aug 9), which informed that the fourth industrial revolution (IR4.0) would “dramatically” change the skills companies need in order to innovate and progress.

Companies would start competing by looking at the skill and talent gaps, invest in training programmes to get their workforce up to speed and help prepare them for the future where job responsibilities are expected to be more complex and sophisticated. Unfortunately, in return, everybody is jumping into a pool of risks. Every new invention triggers new risks.
