As companies plan for the future of work, one key challenge is ensuring they have workers with relevant skills in order to thrive in the years ahead. A major driver of this challenge is that new digital technologies are quickly rendering some workers’ skills obsolete and shortening the half-life of others.
Artificial intelligence, automation, and other advances are also forcing executives to reconsider which roles humans are best suited to and which skills they will need to support companies’ digital ambitions. Answering these questions effectively will ensure companies have the talent to stay competitive and seize new opportunities for growth and profitability.
