With significant changes in the economy, organisations will also be effected in various angles. The skills identified as developing or declining may vary greatly according to the type of the organisation and work culture as well as other factors. Hence, it is difficult and most of the time not accurate while identifying which specific skills may be developing and which skill may be declining. Therefore, the exact result may vary greatly against the predicted skills categorised above.
