Building skills for high performance
teams, leaders & innovators.
Today’s organizations face an unprecedented convergence of technological, social, and regulatory forces. As artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, automation, Internet of Things and blockchain become pervasive, their combined impact will reshape our standard business architectures. This digital transformation can erode our workforce readiness and create generational mismatches between training and application.
Research including surveys across 50 countries (5800 executives) has found that approximately 120 Million professionals need to be re-skilled to deal with AI and new digital business environments, and the biggest gaps are not “digital skills,” but behavioral skills.
This research reinforces the fact that while digital and technical skills are in high demand (41% of CEOs are worried), they can be filled fairly quickly. More than 45% of CHROs tell us people coming out of college have the digital skills they need: what’s missing are skills in complex problem solving, teamwork, business understanding and leadership.
Innovation is ubiquitous and disruptive in ways we can’t always anticipate. We can learn how to innovate and lead professionally, and create a latticework of competencies to make big differences in our businesses.
