A recent report by PwC Canada has found that Canadian organizations and businesses need to focus on building skilled teams to adapt to -- and keep up with -- emerging technologies. The Digital IQ report was produced by PwC Canada, which has been conducting Digital IQ research since 2007. The 2017 edition, which was fielded September to November 2016 and includes 100 Canadian and 2,216 global respondents, provides data about what Canadian executives think about digital culture and hiring people with the right skill set. It also looks at emerging tech investments and digital strategy. Looking at the importance of addressing and adopting digital skills within organizations, the report found that only 46 percent of Canadian executives (versus 63 percent globally) rank the issue of a lack of properly skilled teams among the top barriers to getting results from digital technology.
