Organisations are using the capabilities of different technologies to streamline and improve various aspects of their operations and processes.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Given the rapid development of existing as well as new technologies, are workers gaining the necessary education and awareness of these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.openbusinesscouncil.org\/digital-transformation-4-strategies-leading-companies-follow-and-get-success-with\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technological innovations<\/a> at the same rate?<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Statistics from Accenture worryingly show that employees are lacking the knowledge needed to meet the demands of a digitally driven organisation. They report that this apparent digital skills gaps could cost the UK an astonishing \u00a3141 billion in GDP growth over the next ten years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Interested in the modern workplace, training and qualification provider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknowledgeacademy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Knowledge Academy<\/a> analysed the latest findings from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.open.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Open University<\/a>, who surveyed <strong>500 senior business figures<\/strong> (chief technology officers, HR directors, HR managers) from across the UK to identify the digital skills they think their organisation is most \u2018lacking\u2019 presently.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The Knowledge Academy found that the ability to successfully develop and manage a move to <strong>cloud-based infrastructure (33%)<\/strong>, is one of the two digital skills that senior business figures believe their organisation most lacks.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The other digital skill highlighted by the prominent individuals is <strong>inadequate cyber security (33%) competencies<\/strong>. Given how a severe cyber-attack can cripple multiple business functions and compromise sensitive data within a matter of moments \u2013 it\u2019s an issue now very high on the agenda for key decision makers in most organisations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">In third position, <strong>31% feel their firm struggles to integrate new technologies and\/or data sources to existing business practices<\/strong> because they don\u2019t have the sufficient \u2018know-how\u2019 to do so.

Whilst, just 2% echo the same sentiments about their entry level workers and graduates.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Furthermore, when questioned, the professionals revealed the ways in which the digital skills gap is negatively affecting their firm\u2019s current performance. <strong>They highlighted the following factors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Decreased productivity (56%), inability to implement time\/cost-saving technology (47%), less agile\/adaptable (43%), reduced competitiveness (41%) and lower profitability (37%).<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Joseph Scott, a spokesperson from the TheKnowledgeAcademy.com commented: <em>\u201cTechnology has drastically transformed the working world. It has allowed organisations to conduct and manage various processes\/operations in a more efficient manner. Despite this, the consistent evolution of existing technology and the emergence of new technology has made it difficult for employees to stay in line with the technological changes taking place around them. In turn, this has led to a lot of employees not having the required knowledge and skills to implement certain digital practises which can really drive a business forward.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><em>&#8220;This research certainly highlights the digital skills UK organisations are most lacking and at which level of the business this digital skills gap is most prevalent. Going forward, senior decision makers should plan and make an active effort to provide the human resource in their organisation the appropriate training on any major digital tool\/asset they desire to integrate within their business\u201d,<\/em> Joseph Scott concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud-based infrastructure (33%) and cyber security (33%) are the joint highest-rated digital skills that senior business figures believe their organisations most lacks Interestingly, 31% feel their firm struggles to integrate new technologies because they don\u2019t have the \u2018know-how\u2019 to do so High-ranking professionals reveal that the presence of a digital skills gap in UK companies [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":8003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3468,4083,3542],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.1 (Yoast SEO v19.7.2) -
