Going digital is more than just a technical challenge and therefore people with both outstanding leadership and technological skills are highly sought after. Most corporate cultures though are geared towards self-preservation rather than transformation, particularly as many executives still believe solving the “digital issue” merely consists of offering customers the opportunity to shop online.

Talents with the proper vision and far-sightedness are in short supply. The latest “Digital IQ” analysis conducted by PwC claims that the talent gap is one of the major issues companies face when trying to profit from new technology. Finding and hiring the right people is therefore crucial, particularly as low unemployment, changing demographics and workplace environments perpetuate the lack of skilled workers in the digital field.
