Yesterday, on the BBC News website, they had an interesting story. It was all about the lack of ‘Digital Skills’.
Here’s a link to the full story – https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56479304
Now, I’ve been talking about this for a while. The type of skills that are required for the future need to be started and worked on now!
In September 2019, the Manufacturer shared the below…
Cyber Security – 33%!
Digital Business Transformation – 25%!
Unfortunately, we’ve not really moved the needle on many of these!
So what do we need to do? – Well… as the above illustration shows… Firstly… Training! Train folk in these topics! – then let them learn, experience and grow that skill.
Back in 2018 (early), I started to learn alot about GDPR. I learnt alot about data, privacy, etc… Today, I’m pulled up and asked questions on these topics! – Literally! – Only yesterday someone was asking me about an application and the impact of the data being stored outside of the EU!
Digital Business Transformation – is a skill that many should be learning. Businesses should be able to transform – and this skill is essential! Like the saying goes… ‘it’s not the strongest that survive, but those adaptable to change’.
We’ve seen the devastating impact Covid has had on a number of businesses.
We’ve also seen the growth opportunity Covid has provided a number of businesses.
Which are you? Devastating Impact or Growth Opportunity?
To Grow – you need skills. The right skills. Digital Skills.
We are moving from Physical to Digital. Where are you on the journey?
