How to reskill your IT workforce for the ‘Age of the New’
Organisations must prioritise the reskilling of their IT workforces to best exploit the opportunities of emerging technologies
Thanks to the rapid emergence of advanced digital technologies, businesses face an imperative: transform or risk being disrupted.
Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, digital twin and the Internet of Things, are giving rise to a new kind of industry; one which is data-driven, highly-automated and agile enough to continually reshape operations and business models to make the most of every opportunity.
Businesses that transform to this new industrial model will be the success stories of tomorrow.
However, these highly complex technologies require enterprise IT workers to be skilled in a new range of disciplines including data science, machine training and blockchain development.
If CIOs are to ensure their business can make the most of the opportunities on offer through industrial digitalisation, they must ensure they have a workforce with the right skills.
Simply hiring new talent won’t be enough: people with the right skills are few and far between, and certainly insufficient to meet the skills requirements of all businesses.
