DIGITAL SKILLS PROGRAM

DIGITAL SKILLS PROGRAM

Future Point of View has developed a proprietary model for determining the proclivity for employees to adapt with new technologies and skills, which allows for a tailored approach to executing upskilling programs and overall strategy execution.

The digital skills gap is costing organizations millions. Companies are losing as much as $1.14 million per week, or 44 wasted working days, due to the digital skills gap (Walkme). The digital skills gap refers to the shortage digital competencies among employees to fully leverage the capabilities of technology they use in daily tasks.

Buying more technology ≠ increased efficiency

Organizations that aim to increase efficiency and productivity through technology ~without a well-crafted strategy~ often find the opposite result. The “old” ways are no longer working. Pre-packaged training doesn’t drive adoption. It’s time for a paradigm shift in the way we think about skills development and training within our teams.

Future Point of View helps organizations develop a new model for enhancing the capability of their teams. We focus on driving adoption and execution in an upskilled workforce that enables an organization to take full advantage of the efficiency gains driven by technology and automation.
