Organizations Need Talent for Digital Transformation

Organizations yearning for digital transformation should take heed, competitors and consultants may steal your digital-savvy employees. That's one finding from the "Constellation Research 2017 Digital Transformation Study" published Oct. 19. The demand for workers that understand how to implement and use big data, IoT, artificial intelligence and synchronous ledger technologies (SLT) and blockchain will only grow. Those who invest in building a digital workforce by cultivating talent and offering a digital training program will keep the talent poachers away, according to Constellation Research report authors Chris Kanaracus, Courtney Sato and R "Ray" Wang. Constellation received 105 responses; 18 percent of which were CEOs, 20 percent lines-of-business managers and 16 percent IT managers.
