Technical and human skills will be key to success in the future of business, according to University of Queensland student Humberto Jimenez, the winner of the first round of the Universitas 21 and PwC Innovation Challenge.
The Master of Business Administration student said innovation and automation were king, and future business professionals would need to shape and adapt to new ways of working.
“Employees of the future will not only need advanced technical knowledge, but they will also need to master what makes us human,” Mr Jimenez said.
As part of his prize, Mr Jimenez will receive training and coaching with PwC experts and clients during a week-long trip to Dubai later this year.
