Developing digital skills for successful business transformation

Digital technologies are changing the world of work – the internet of things, artificial intelligence, cloud storage, cloud computing, cognitive computing, and robotics are creating new business needs, opportunities, and challenges never before imagined. Such developments are disrupting the enterprise world and transforming employee experiences. The growing reliance upon'everything digital' has placed massive demands on training and development, with companies competing to get the best digital talent. Lack of education and skills in key technologies is holding back companies that need to grow, and change. A new research study, the Digital Disruption Index by Deloitte, shows three-quarters of UK executives say they face challenges in recruiting the right digital skills. Only two in ten leaders think there are enough school leavers and graduates with the appropriate digital skills.
