Digitalization is changing the way companies, across all industries, create revenue and deliver new types of value to customers. As companies work to make sense of how this upends their industry, their competitors, and a large proportion of their day-to-day processes, one particular challenge stands out: an intense competition for employees that have the right “digital skills.”
Digital skills are defined as the ability to develop, implement, and use digital technologies in the workplace. And, as digital advances transform business operations and go-to-market models, all firms are feeling the pressure to hire employees with digital skills. These skills are now in demand across sectors and within roles that traditionally did not require them.
