Uma ubheka isithombe esikhulu - ukuthi ukulawula izakhiwo kungavala kanjani igebe lamakhono

Cishe ngesipiliyoni seminyaka engama-30 kuMkhakha Wokulawula Izakhiwo, u-Paul Armstrong ushiye indima yakhe njengomhloli Ogunyaziwe (AI) ku Imvume Yokulawula Isakhiwo to return to university, in order to pursue post graduate studies in education. On completion, the opportunity arose to develop the Assent Training Academy, a position that allows him to draw on his passion for education and Building Control, sharing knowledge and helping to train the next generation of AI’s at Assent. Here, Paul speaks about the current skills crisis, the opportunities that he sees within the industry and what he thinks it will take to bridge the skills gap. 

While there are many contributions to the ongoing skills shortage in building control, there is one overriding factor that stands out for me, and that’s time. This is a sector where the work doesn’t run out. It keeps us busy, which is great, but ultimately it becomes a vicious cycle of having so much work on that there is limited time to train and develop skills of new and existing colleagues. The process of delivering quality training is extremely time consuming and the long-term payoff is all too easily overlooked when you’re not considering the bigger picture. But there’s no getting away from the fact that we need fresh blood and investing time into people is the only way we can achieve this.

Izivimbamgwaqo kanye nemibono eyiphutha yezimboni

Kunemibono eminingi eyiphutha mayelana nokulawulwa kwesakhiwo kanye nobubanzi imvelo eyakhiwe. Ivamise ukubonwa njengemboni eyisidala engemuva kwejika elinoguquko oludijithali futhi evaleleke ezinqubweni nasezinqubweni ezidlulelwe yisikhathi. Akukho okuyiqiniso. Kodwa enye yemibono eyiphutha enkulu evimba abantu ukuthi babone ukubaluleka kwangempela komsebenzi ekulawuleni izakhiwo ukungaqondi kahle indima yethu design futhi ukwakhiwa inqubo. Abantu benza iphutha lokusibheka njengeqembu elihlukile futhi babe nalo mbono wokuthi sikhona nje ukuphonsa i-proverbial spanner emisebenzini futhi senze impilo yawo wonke umuntu ibe nzima. Lokhu akunjalo. Ukulawula ukwakha okwenziwe kahle kusibona sidlala indima ebalulekile eduze kwethimba lokuklama, ukusiza ukulondoloza isikhathi nezisetshenziswa. Futhi nakuba singase singazibandakanyi enqubweni yokuklama, singaba usizo mayelana nokuxazulula izinkinga. (https://atelierdetroupe.com) Kaningi uma kunenkinga, sesike sayibona kwesinye isakhiwo. Umbono wokuthi silapho ukuze sidale ukungqubuzana uyadukisa ngokuphelele kanti empeleni, maningi amathuba okwakha ubudlelwano obuqinile namathimba amadizayini kanye namathimba ephrojekthi abanzi.

Sidakiwe, ongqondongqondo abakhulu

Okuvame ukumangaza abantu ukuthi ikhono eliyinhloko noma ubani alidingayo ukuze abe yi-AI ephumelelayo ukuxhumana. Nakuba ngokuvamile senza iphutha njengama-introverts ahlaziyayo, iqiniso liwukuthi sichitha isikhathi sethu esiningi sikhuluma nenqwaba yabantu abahlukene. Kusukela kubakhi nabanikazi bezindlu kuya kubadwebi bezakhiwo nama-CEO ezinkampani zamazwe ngamazwe. Kubalulekile ukuthi ube namakhono okuxhumana akuvumela ukuthi uveze umbono wakho ngendlela omunye umuntu ayazisa futhi ayiqondayo. Ukwazi ukuthi kwenziwa kanjani lezi zingxoxo kungasho umehluko phakathi kwephrojekthi ephumelelayo nesimo sokungqubuzana.

Kubalulekile futhi kunoma ubani ongena ekulawuleni isakhiwo ukuze akwazi ukubona isithombe esikhulu. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi usemhlanganweni noma endaweni, uthatha umbono ophelele wokuthi ulwazi owethulwe ngalo ngaleso sikhathi luzokwenza kanjani umthelela iphrojekthi iyonke izobaluleka empumelelweni yakho. Sidinga ongqondongqondo abakhulu, ngokungafani nabantu ababambe iqhaza emininingwaneni.

Kwezemfundo noma okungokoqobo - thatha ukukhetha kwakho

Okuhle ngenqubo yokuqeqesha ukuze ube yi-AI ukuthi kunemizila emibili ehlukene. Lokhu kusho ukuthi abantu abanezindlela ezahlukene zokufunda bangakwazi ukuzuza iziqu ezifanayo. Wonke ama-AI aqeqeshwa nge-CABE noma nge-RICS, futhi ukufaneleka kwalowo nalowo kungatholakala ngokusebenzisa ulwazi noma umzila osekelwe ezifundweni. Umzila wezemfundo uhlanganisa iziqu, kanye nesipiliyoni seminyaka emibili. Abaqeqeshwayo kumele futhi bakhiqize iphothifoliyo yomsebenzi wabo futhi bahlale nenhlolokhono ehlolwe yiphaneli. Umzila oholwa yisipiliyoni uvame ukufaneleka kakhulu kubantu asebesungule imisebenzi yabo kuyo ukwakhiwa, njengoba kudinga isipiliyoni seminyaka engu-5-10, kanye nephothifoliyo yomsebenzi kanye nenhlolokhono ehlolwe yiphaneli.

Amakhono adingekayo ukuze ube yi-AI akudingeki ukuthi avele emsebenzini wakho ojwayelekile wezemfundo, empeleni sibona abantu abaningi asebesungule imisebenzi ukwakha okuletha amakhono abalulekile nolwazi embonini. Ukwehlukahlukana okukwengeza kulo mkhakha kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoba kusivumela ukuthi singene echibini lamathalente elibanzi kakhulu.

Ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhlanganisiwe

Imboni idinga ukuthatha indlela ebumbene yokutshala imali emakhonweni nakubantu. Sichitha isikhathi esiningi sibheka isithombe esikhulu ngomsebenzi wethu, sidinga ukuqala ukwenza okufanayo emkhakheni wethu ukuze sivale igebe lamakhono. Ukwazisa ukubaluleka kwesikhathi eside sokutshala imali ekuqeqesheni nasekuqeqesheni iyona ndlela kuphela esizokwazi ukuqhela ngayo le nkinga esibhekene nayo. Lokhu akugcini nje ngokuba ngabaqalayo abasha - kuphinde kuqeqeshe abasebenzi abakhona. Umbono wokuthi ukuqeqeshwa kuyama phezu kweziqu akusizi muntu. Ukunikeza ukuqeqeshwa okungaguquki kuyo yonke indlela yomsebenzi kuvumela abantu ukuthi bakhe ubungcweti ezindaweni ezithile, kusiza ukuthuthukiswa kochwepheshe, futhi kuvimbele abantu ekubeni bamile ezindimeni zabo futhi balahlekelwe intshisekelo.

Konke kubuyela ekutshalweni kwesikhathi. Ngiyazi ukuthi iningi lama-AI abanolwazi bafuna ukwabelana ngolwazi lwabo, kodwa badinga ukuqaphela ukuthi ukutshala isikhathi sokwenza lokho ekugcineni kuzozuzisa wonke umuntu. Bangase bazizwe bematasa kakhulu namuhla, kodwa uma bengatshali imali kwabaqeqeshwayo manje bazobe bematasa kangakanani kusasa, ngenyanga ezayo noma ngonyaka ozayo? Ama-AI ethu amadala, anolwazi oluthe xaxa azogcina ethathe umhlalaphansi, futhi sizosala namakhono ambalwa nambalwa. Lokhu kuyinto edinga ukulungiswa ngokushesha ukuze kugwenywe inkinga enkulu kakhulu esikhathini eside.

Ukubuka esikhathini esizayo

Nakuba isimo singase sibonakale sifiphele, akudingekile ukuba sibe nethemba ngekusasa. Naphezu kwalokho okungase kubonakale, empeleni nginethemba elikhulu ngokuthi siphokophele kuphi. Ukusebenza ku ukulawula isakhiwo kunikeza ithuba lokusiza ukwenza umhlaba wethu indawo engcono, ephephile yokuhlala. Inikeza indima ephambili ekuqinisekiseni izakhiwo zisimeme and on track to reaching net zero targets.

Ngokuhambisana nalokhu nobuchwepheshe obusha obujabulisayo obethulwa futhi bakhelwa phezu kwabo kuyo yonke imboni, sakha izindima ezigxile kakhulu esikhathini esizayo ukuze sihehe izizukulwane ezincane. Sesivele sibona abaholi bezimboni bezibophezela kakhulu ekunikezeni ukuqeqeshwa okugxilile, okuyikhwalithi okubandakanya ukuqeqeshwa kwamakhono okuxhumana.

Futhi ngomzamo obumbene, ngikholwa ukuthi singabelana ngothando lwethu nomdlandla ukuze sihehe amakhono adingekayo ukuze asisize sivale igebe.

Okuthunyelwe Uma ubheka isithombe esikhulu - ukuthi ukulawula izakhiwo kungavala kanjani igebe lamakhono ivele kuqala Izindaba Zomkhakha Wezokwakha.
