The 4 Non-Routine Skills

There are four skills that anyone wanting to strive in this economy must possess, we call these the four non-routine cognitive skills. These four skills are abstract reasoning, systems thinking, collaboration, and ability to experiment. Abstract reasoning is the ability to make and manipulate models. What it means by "models" is  one of the models of the five comoponents of an information system. This information will help you make data models, and process models. Systems thinking is the ability to model the components of a system, to connect the inputs and outputs of the components into a whole that makes sence and that reflects the structure and dynamics of the event that you are observing. Collaboration is the activity of 2 or more people working together to achieve a common goal or strategy. To have successful collaboration you must keep in mind that it is not about being nice, but that it is about giving and receiving positive and critical feedback in order to grow from the collaboration. Ability to experiment means that you must not be afraid to experiment, and to experiment means to  make a reasoned analysis of an opportunity, envisioning potential solutions, evaluating those possibilties, and developing the most promising solutions and possibilities, and they must be consistent with the resources you have.
