Digital transformation is no longer a nice to have. It’s an imperative. The part that gets far less attention is the impact of digitalization on the workforce. Afterall, if the pandemic taught us anything it’s that people are still essential.
According to Ashok Viswanathan, a supply chain executive at Best Buy and adjunct professor at Rutgers University, the trick to a sustainable digital transformation is upskilling the workforce in areas like digitalization, automation, artificial intelligence and analytics. For most, the question is: Where do I start, and how do I get there? Where’s the roadmap?
On this episode of The Rebound, Viswanathan shares his four-point roadmap to upskilling the workforce to get the most from your organization’s digital transformation.
