Richard David Precht: “Project management and logistics are professions of the future – naturally, there will also be new professions in the future. The only question is, how many? And they are emerging less in the low-wage sector than in (...) higher-level service professions. Completing an airport on time clearly remains an exciting challenge, even in the digital age. Life is too varied, circumstances too adverse, and people too unpredictable for such tasks to be entrusted to machines alone.” (Precht, R.D., 2018.
