Two types of barriers already exist that will be still there in the future: the cultural change barrier at individual level: lack of skills, lack of consultation, poor leadership, etc

And the cultural change barriers of the organisation: lack of decision, lack of anticipation, poor training offer, etc

Drivers of transformation are moving us towards a future defined by extraordinary technological advancements. General technological changes such as augmented operations, digitalization, and the omnipresence of artificial intelligence are not only revolutionizing industries but altering the very essence of how we live and work.

Transportation is experiencing a technological transition. From centralized train control centers to the dawn of autonomous vehicles, we stand on the edge of a transportation revolution. The automatic train operation, interlocking signaling, and connected driver advisory systems are not just upgrades; they represent a paradigm shift in how we perceive and implement efficient and safe transit. The introduction of 5G and the ETCS/ERTMS standards further amplify this transformation.

However, it’s crucial to recognize that the drivers of transformation extend beyond technology. Job organization is experiencing a transformation, with social IT tools fostering collaboration, versatility becoming a prized skill, and cybersecurity a major issue.

Training is also not immune to these changes. New training tools, coupled with the adaptability of trainers, are crucial in preparing the workforce for the challenges of tomorrow and wqup them with the skills fort he future. The societal landscape is not a passive observer either. Geopolitical risks, changing relationships at work, and the seismic shift brought about by generational changes are societal undercurrents shaping our collective future.
