Alex Hilton, CEO of CIF, stated: “What came out loud and clear from our research was that while respondents believe that their senior leadership teams generally recognise the need to deliver digital transformation, they are less confident in their ability to actually deliver it – particularly in the public sector.”
According to the findings, whilst a quarter are confident that their leadership team recognises the need for digital transformation, only 17 per cent are confident that the leadership can transform the business. Worryingly, just 12 per cent of respondents from the largest organisations – and 12 per cent specifically from the public sector – are completely confident that their leadership team can deliver digital transformation.
“Having the right skills in the broader workforce to deliver digital transformation is similarly critical. However, just 45 per cent of respondents believe that their organisation has the skills required to adapt to digital transformation. Our figures also found that while 15 per cent are actively recruiting to plug their skills gap, three in ten had no plans to do so,” added Alex.?.Thank you !!
