The Future of Credentialing

This year I.C.E. released the results of the Future of Credentialing study that had been conducted for three main purposes:

To examine the external drivers of change impacting the credentialing field.
To provide a forward-looking perspective to ensure the credentialing industry remains relevant and viable in the next decade.
To assist credentialing bodies with seeing the future more clearly and to inspire their own forward-looking perspective
Conducted by currentI .C.E. board members, this workshop will use the results of the study as a baseline for observations toward what is impacting current and future approaches to credentialing. Panelists will go beyond the study to share their key observations & experiences, focused on threats and opportunities in three main areas:

Business models: are we measuring, producing, and effectively communicating the value of certification in a way that industry understands?
Role of Government in Credentialing: how mandates or restrictions affect the use of credentials, how the divided environment is impacting our field
Technology. What will be the impact of AI, big data and blockchain on credentialing?
Social media: leverage, but watch out for influencers becoming unintended SMEs
Types of credentials: how use of a variety of types of credentials can more effectively serve our professions and expand our relationships, including lessons learned from higher education
The panel will provide insight and experience to understand the changing environment and what credentialing organizations can do to adapt and thrive. Come learn more about these findings and how you can use the information to challenge your thinking about the future of credentialing and maximize future opportunities and to mitigate the potential negative impact of these possible disruptions.
