Businesses need to have access to the right technology and skills in order to succeed now more than ever. After all, digital tools and technology are now necessary for any global business to be successful. However, there is a “digital skills gap” that many businesses have to deal with because they can’t find skilled professionals who have the right knowledge and experience with new technologies. As a result, businesses are at a competitive disadvantage as they struggle to bridge the skills gaps between their current workforce and the digital economy’s requirements.

Key discussion points in this panel will touch on how to maximise the power of technology by leveraging on trained and capable digital talents, understanding how diversity help business transform and innovate, discovering new business opportunities by having a diverse voice and how citizen-led automation can optimise and support digital transformation strategy.
