Skills of the future

Organisations are looking at new and flexible ways to attract and retain top talent during the digital and automation era. Digital Dexterity is now seen as the most important skill to adapt to the technology disruptions. Contingent and gig workers complicate workforce planning as there is now more than one right answer to optimal size / shape / composition of the workforce. Emerging technologies could lead to a dramatic change in people’s roles and responsibilities, as well a change in skill sets they possess. In such a scenario, it is imperative for organisations to identify future skills and workforce competencies to transform into digital organisations.
