Embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution- the IOP Way Building on from the  Art of Collaboration , viewed through lenses of complexity, capability and social processes, we explore our voice and impact in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. SIOPSA executive team is pleased to announce the theme for our 21 st  annual conference-  Embracing the Fourth Industrial Revolution- the IO Psychology way. The first three industrial revolutions saw initial growth driven through mechanisation (1 st  Rev.), followed by  mass production made possible by electricity and production lines (2 nd . Rev.) and ended with automation spurred on by technological advancements such as electronics and computers (3 rd . Rev.) Now, machines are being made to be more human-like. Cyber-physical systems, networks and the internet of things are developing rapidly. The debate seems to be around the responsible use of artificial intelligence and these technological advancements have important implications for people. Thought leaders suggest that growth in the Fourth industrial revolution will not revolve around machines, but rather human creativity, collaboration and resilience and thus propels us to re-imagine our role as IOP’s for human health and thriving societies. For society, the ‘good’ of technology is often expressed in economic terms but as we move into the Fourth industrial revolution and the digital transformation of life, as we know it, the potential risks and benefits remains an open narrative. How should the humanitarian sectors and behavioural experts respond to the Fourth  Industrial Revolution? How does the Fourth Industrial revolution impact on the IOP’s role, mode of working and competencies?  The Fourth industrial revolution, a term coined by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum, describes a world where  individuals move between digital domains and offline reality with the use of connected technology to enable and manage their lives . (Miller 2015,) The speed and impact with which this is happening, as well as shifts in power, wealth and knowledge, cannot be ignored and responsibility should be taken to ensure the benefits to all. Leading researchers argue that the Fourth industrial revolution will shape the future through its impacts on government and business. Steven Pinker posited that due to the technological advances, human prosperity seems to be on the increase. The end-user of technology does not always have control over either technology or the disruption that comes with the Fourth industrial revolution. However, we can predict the opportunities that comes with the Fourth industrial revolution: 1) lower barriers between inventors and markets, 2) more active role for artificial intelligence (AI), 3) integration of different technics and domains (fusion), 4) improved the quality of our lives (robotics) and 5) the connected life (Internet) (Xu, David and Kim, 2018). “ We are on the cusp of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live, work, and relate to one another. In its scale, scope, and complexity, the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before. We do not yet know just how it will unfold, but one thing is clear: the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive, involving all stakeholders of the global polity, from the public and private sectors to academic and civil society.” (Schwab 2015).  Enriching human dignity must be at the centre of solutions (Aikman, 2017).           Through collaborative research and practice within and outside the IOP profession, we invite strategic partnerships to contribute to the “ 4 th  IR -the IOP Way ”. We invite contributions to this dialogue from the field of cognitive, neuro and behavioural psychology, which touches on machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, talent, organizing, vulnerability, singularity, disruptive education and learning and disruption of the ethics dialogue, to name but a few. The conference theme for 2019 includes reaching both scientific and practical experiences of participants who collaborate daily with clients, academic institutions, organisations and other industry leaders.

Background Information The Department of Science and Technology, in support of the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme, has tasked the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement with the responsibility to implement the Innovation Partnership for Rural Development Programme (IPRDP) Science and Technology Journalism programme. The IPRDP is intended to gather knowledge, evidence, and learning for integrating innovative technologies in improving access and quality of public service delivery. The IPRDP is a two-year programme that will demonstrate innovative technology solutions in district municipalities that form part of the prioritised 26 district municipalities. The programme demonstrates technologies in various sectors ranging from water, sanitation, energy, and ICT. The scope of the IPRDP business plan is not limited to demonstration only but have aspects of skills transfers to municipalities and communities; promotion of science and technology amongst youth; and capacity building on the management of innovative technologies. Overview Purpose Beyond demonstration of innovative technologies, the IPRDP intends to promote interest in science and technology amongst the disadvantaged youth through a Science and Technology Youth Journalism Programme. In line with the Science Engagement Framework Strategy 1, the IPRD aims to popularise science, technology, and innovation, and thus contribute to improving public understanding and awareness of science and technology. SAASTA aims to be the leading science advancement agency in the country by promoting and communicating the value and impact of science, technology, and innovation in a dynamic knowledge economy. It also intends to contribute significantly towards building a science, engineering, and technology (SET) human resource base. Scope The Science and Technology Youth Journalist Programme is being implemented within district municipalities where IPRDP technologies are demonstrated. The programme is primarily aimed at young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 years, residing within these communities; specifically unemployed individuals with undergraduate qualifications in science and engineering, communications, and journalism studies. Some of the  published work  of the interns enrolled in the programme can be found  here.

As the bank that sees money differently, we recognise how valuable the most capable individuals in our society are. We are always looking for people who believe in creating their own futures, but could do with some help. Each year we offer bursaries to students in need of financial assistance toward their studies. So, if you are thinking of studying towards a university degree but don’t have the financial means, the Nedbank Bursary Fund may be the solution you’re looking for. The following are some of the questions we’ll ask when considering your application for a bursary:  Are you a South African citizen? Do you contribute to Nedbank’s transformation targets? Have you achieved enough academically? Specifically, have you earned at least a 65% average pass mark, while also meeting all of the registration criteria of a South African public university or university of technology? Where do you score on a financial means test? Does the degree you are applying for meet a scarce skill that we’ve identified at Nedbank or for the greater good of South Africa?
