“What must-have skills and competencies do we need to  achieve our digital business ambition? Does the current IT  team have the necessary business expertise and technical skills to design and deliver digital business capabilities?  Can I future-proof the IT workforce to adapt to changing business needs?” 

CIOs have many questions around talent in the world of digital transformation and increasing amounts of emerging technologies. But ultimately, they need to find technology talent with the right skills and competencies to successfully execute digital business strategy. CEOs believe digital is a  key driver for business growth and transformation. 

It’s a clear mandate, but it’s difficult to know exactly where to start. Luckily, the first and foremost solution is within your existing team. 

“Lacking talent and skills is the top internal constraint to digital business growth,” says Lily Mok, VP Analyst, Gartner. “To overcome this challenge, CIOs must rethink how they plan and source for new digital skills and competencies, focusing more on the reskilling and development of the existing workforce.”
