Future Work Skills 2020: Transdisciplinarity The challenges of the future will demand multidisciplinary responses. On a global scale, issues such as climate change, dwindling energy supplies, and public health crises will require teamwork across disciplines to pool talent and find solutions. Even people not engaged in such high-level work will have to manage growing amounts of seemingly unrelated information, as 21st-century jobs cease to be single-function tasks and increasingly require workers to integrate and interpret data from outside their immediate experience. The ability to understand and integrate concepts across multiple disciplines is called transdisciplinarity. A product of our data-driven computational world and the need for workers to anticipate multiple careers over longer lives, transdisciplinarity is one of 10 key workforce proficiencies described in Future Work Skills 2020, a report by the Institute for the Future for Apollo Research Institute:.
