The Skills Challenge
The biggest enabler (or inhibitor) of this transformation would be the
readiness of the existing skills base
Reorientation and re-skilling of existing talent needs to be a
priority, lateral hiring/external skills only being a supplement
Shifting focus from deep technology to technology enabled
outcomes
It is time to prepare a talent management plan for the new portfolio
Managing the motivation of those that find it difficult to adjust to
the new requirements
