The Skills Revolution

Digitization and Why Skills and Talent Matter

Learnability Will Be The World's Great Equalizer As We Face A Skills Revolution

In the changing world of work, companies are navigating change both in terms of how and where they compete. In this new environment, we are seeing the emergence of a Skills Revolution — where helping people upskill and adapt to a fast-changing world of work will be the defining challenge of our time. Those with the right skills will increasingly call the shots, create opportunities and choose how, where and when they work. Those without will look to the future and not be able to see how their circumstances will improve.

To succeed, organizations need aggressive workforce development to address the widening gap between the Haves and the Have Nots. Now is the time for leaders to be responsive and responsible: we cannot slow the rate of technological advance or globalization, but we can invest in employees’ skills to increase the resilience of our people and organizations.
