The Digital Talent Gap
Developing Skills for Today’s
Digital Organizations
The War for Talent Has Gone Digital
The shortage of digital skills in the
current marketplace is unprecedented.
It is estimated that over 4.4 million IT
jobs will be created around Big Data by
2015; however, only a third of these new
jobs will be filled1. Martha Lane Fox, the
UK’s digital inclusion champion, believes
over 16 million people in the UK lack the
basic digital skills to fully benefit from the
Internet2. Even Millenials are a matter of
concern. In a survey comprising over 800
middle to upper management executives
from over 50 industries, nearly one in five
Millenials in the modern workplace are
perceived to be lacking in analytical skills3.

The impact of digital
technologies is now
felt not only in the IT
department, but across
the entire organization,
creating a huge demand
for digital skills.

The reasons driving this skills shortage
are not hard to identify. The usage of
mobile, social and analytical tools is
permeating the length and breadth of
every function across the organization.
Unlike the past, the impact of these digital
technologies and tools is felt not just in
the IT department. This means that the
magnitude of training and re-skilling that
is required is enormous. Moreover, each
new technology cycle has brought forth
new requirements and these cycles are
increasingly getting shorter. Employees
must now refresh their skills more
frequently if they wish to stay relevant in
this rapidly changing digital environment.
The head of India R&D Labs of software
firm SAP succinctly states: “The shelf life
of a software engineer today is no more
than that of a cricketer – about 15 years.
The 20-year-old guys provide me more
value than the 35-year-olds do.4”

digital skills as the key hurdle to their
digital transformation5. Digital leaders or
‘Digirati’a are already investing in digital
skills and reaping significant benefits in
comparison to other companies (see
Figure 1). On average, ‘Digirati’ are
26% more profitable than their industry
competitors.
This skills shortage is creating a ‘war for
talent’, where companies have to compete
for the best talent with new categories of
players. Unlike in the past, the hunt for the
best talent is no more limited to localized
skills in certain departments. In this case,
the talent war is manifest across the entire
organization. The important questions
are: Do organizations include digital skills
as a key component in their workforce
plans? Are HR departments equipped
and skilled to bring innovative solutions
to bridge the digital skills gap? How are
Digiratis developing digital skills?

Organizations are beginning to recognize
the magnitude of the problem. Our
own research with the MIT Center
for Digital Business has revealed that
77% of companies considered missing

Organizations that truly transform by leveraging digital technologies
Current Approaches to Developing
Digital Skills are Broken
77% of companies consider
missing digital skills as the
key hurdle to their Digital
Transformation.

Organizations are currently facing an
acute shortage of digital skills. To find
out the current level of skills shortage
and reasons behind this shortage, we
interviewed companies across the globe.

Companies are Not
Investing in Digital Skills
Over 90% of the companies we
interviewed stated that they did not have
necessary skills in the areas of social
media, mobile, internal social networks,
process automation and performance
monitoring and analysis6. That is not to
say they do not realize the importance
of such digital skills. Our research
with the MIT uncovered that 87% of
companies feel digital transformation is a
competitive opportunity7. However, only
46% were investing in the development
of digital skills8.

Despite the skills shortage,
only 46% of companies are
investing in developing
digital skills.

Training Programs are Out
of Sync
A key challenge that we uncovered was
how out of sync the training efforts were.
We found that only 4% of companies
ensured that their training efforts were
aligned with their overall digital strategy.

The result of this lack of synchronization
and alignment became clear when we
analyzed corporate training budgets
allocated to digital. We found that none
of the companies we surveyed spends
more than 20% of its training budget on
digital. Such poor investment is clearly
reflected in the limited reach of training
initiatives. For an overwhelming 95% of
companies, only 20% of their workforce
benefited from trainings on digital8 (see
page 4).

Only 4% of companies we
interviewed are aligning
their training efforts with
their digital strategy.

Many Companies Continue
to Use Traditional
Approaches for Sourcing
Digital Skills
Companies seem to be overly cautious
and conservative in their acquisition
of digital skills. We found that while
companies are increasingly using
multiple methods to source digital
skills, they still rely heavily on traditional
methods such as training, recruitment
and partnership. In our survey, over 63%
of companies are using such traditional
methods to source digital talent10. On
the other hand, only 13% of companies
are using innovative methods such as
targeted company acquisition or an
incubator approach (see page 4). While
traditional methods definitely need to
be considered, other inventive avenues
present many untapped opportunities.
There have been many success
stories of companies that have used
innovative approaches such as acquiring
companies and engaging startups
through incubation.

The Human Resources
Function is Not Actively
Involved in Digital Skills
Development
An added challenge appears to be
the fact that HR is not in the driver’s
seat when it comes to steering digital
skills development. We found that only
30% of organizations have mentioned
HR as being actively involved in skills
development11. So, the question remains
who is managing the transformation of
skills if it is not HR? In over 60% of the
companies we surveyed, it was the senior
leadership, IT division, functional teams
and employees who were spearheading
digital skills development12.
This lack of investment and alignment
with digital strategy is worrisome as
it means that companies still have a
long way to go before they can resolve
their digital skills issue. Apart from the
investment focus, a talent shortage of
the magnitude that organizations face
today requires a more proactive stance
on the part of companies. Organizations
need to tap into newer platforms for
acquiring skills while also accelerating
the pace of skills development. They
need to understand that traditional
skills and approaches are not going to
help them in the digital age. In the next
section, we take a look at the skills that
organizations need in order to thrive in
the digital world.

What Skills are Most Relevant for
the Digital Age?
One of the common challenges that most
organizations have faced in the past
is how technical teams and business
teams speak different languages. In
today’s digital age, this will prove to be
a significant hurdle. The proliferation of
digital tools and technologies across
functions means that the business
worker has to learn sufficient technical
skills. At the same time, the technical
engineer should be ready to speak the
business language in order to be in
sync with their marketing and product
counterparts. In the long-term, the need
is for an evolved professional who is
equally comfortable with business and
technology (see Figure 2).

There is Demand for New
Types of Technical Skills
There is a growing usage of Big Data
analytics, social media platforms and
mobile devices. This, is turn, is forcing
employees to acquire skills in these
areas.
For instance, our survey indicated that
over 50% of companies realize that
mobile is one of the two most important

Over 50% of companies
realize mobile is a
key skill for digital
transformation; over
80% of them face a talent
shortage in mobile.

skills for digital transformation. However,
over 80% of these companies face a
talent shortage in mobile13. Mobile skills
encompass design skills, e.g. platformdesign, user-interface and gamification
as well as technical skills such as app
development, cloud services, mobile
device management and security.
Similarly, in a survey conducted with
American
executives,
over
85%
mentioned that they have a Big Data
initiative planned or in progress; however,
only 21% rated their company’s analytics
capabilities as “more than adequate” or
“world class”. Moreover, all respondents

cited facing issues while hiring analytical
talent with more than 75% saying that it
is challenging to source such skills14.
Like mobile and analytics, social media
skills is another skill area that is in demand.
In a survey conducted with respondents
from organizations with over 50,000
employees, only 13% of companies
described their social media efforts as
advanced15. These social media skills
encompass soft skills such as building
a brand, community participation, virtual
facilitation, online etiquette and front-end
engagement skills such as social media
outreach, community management,
customer service and public relations.
Our Digital Maturity Assessment survey
also highlighted that over 50% of
companies lacked social media skills.

Only 13% of companies
described their social
media efforts as
advanced.

Technical Talents Need a
Strong Understanding of
Business 	
The lack of advanced technical skills
in mobile, analytics and social media
isn’t the only challenge that companies
face. They also need to increasingly
complement these digital skills with
business acumen. The true potential of
digital skills is realized when they are
combined with a robust understanding
of the business. For instance, the real
value of data analytics stems from an
organization’s ability to operationalize
these insights. This requires combining
data prowess with strategic and
creative thinking, collaboration and
communication skills. This is leading
to a growing demand for individuals
who possess technical skills along
with business strategy and leadership
abilities.
Markus Nordlin, the CIO of Zurich
Insurance, sums up the requirement
for the future leaders, “I believe that
the successful leaders of tomorrow, in
any business or industry, are going to
be true hybrid professionals who have
spent some time in IT but have shifted
to operations and vice-versa.16” And
when it comes to the next generation of
talent, Anne G. Robinsonb, President of
INFORMSc emphasized how critical it is
that “analytics graduates learn program
management and change management,
so they understand and drive the endto-end analytics process.”

I believe that the
successful leaders of
tomorrow are going to be
true hybrid professionals
who have spent some
time in IT but have
shifted to operations and
vice-versa.
- Markus Nordlin,
CIO Zurich Insurance

Business Professionals
Must Understand the
Language of IT
By 2015, research firm IDC expects that
90% of all jobs will require Information
and Communication Technology (ICT)
skills17. Business professionals will
increasingly need to be comfortable
with digital tools and technologies in
order to perform their core roles. They
need to understand the language of IT
that will enable them to have a healthy
conversation with their IT colleagues
on how best they want to serve their
customers. Indeed, IDC expects that
50% of new marketing hires in 2013 will
have technical backgrounds18.

By 2015, it is expected
that 90% of all jobs will
require Information
and Communication
Technology (ICT) skills.

So, what does the digital-savvy
professional of the future look like?
Future employees will need to combine
excellent digital specialist skills with
deep functional business knowledge.
They should be comfortable with short
delivery cycles and be able to operate
across silos and within cross-functional
teams. They need to ensure they are
ahead of the technology curve and in
roles where they can add value beyond
what digital technology generates.
Terry Harrison, past President of
INFORMS and Professor at the Penn
State University puts it directly, “It is no
longer sufficient that you think of your
job as doing what you have constantly
done for many years. If you have that
mindset long enough then software will
be developed to do what you do making
you redundant.”
However, getting to an organization that
is filled with employees having such skills
is not an easy task. It requires plugging
of the digital skills gap. In the next
section, we propose some approaches
to achieving this.

How Can Organizations Plug
the Skills Gap?
The growing demand and limited
supply of digital talent is placing
immense pressure on organizations
to scale up on their digital skills. We
believe organizations need to initiate
training programs on digital tools, look
at innovative recruitment methods,
carry out targeted acquisitions, enter
into partnerships and engage with the
startup community in order to plug the
digital skills gap (see Figure 3).

Employee Exchange
Programs with Technology
Companies Aid in
Accelerating Digital
Training
Training programs on digital skills
help employees understand how to
use and implement new technologies
and platforms. P&G is an interesting
example of a company that has trained
its employees on digital skills to scale up
for future growth. To step up its Internet
marketing initiatives and to scale up digital

skills amongst its employees, P&G and
Google started an employee exchange
program. The aim of the program
was to foster innovation and crosspollination of digital talent. Employees
from both companies took part in each
other’s training programs and attended
meetings where business plans were
formalized. With this program, P&G
gained expertise on digital and search
marketing to effectively sell its products
online19.

P&G entered into an
employee-exchange
program with Google
to step up its Internet
marketing initiatives and
scale-up digital skills.

Next Generation
Learning in Action
Initially, Intel launched their Digital
IQ training program in 2008. The
program comprised 60 online
courses spanning areas such as
social media measurement, brand
identity in social media, mobile
marketing and viral marketing. Within
two years of its launch, over 20,000
employees had completed the Digital
IQ training. Going a step further, Intel
introduced another course, called
Digital IQ 500, which licenses Intel
employees to practice social media
on behalf of the company.

The need for employees to have a
thorough understanding of digital
technologies
and
their
business
applications also extends to senior
executives. Effective reverse mentoring
programs help address this gap.
The importance of learning from the
younger generation is highlighted by
Krish Shankar, Head of HR at Indian
communication group Bharti Airtel.
According to him, “The future of
technology will be defined by the youth,
and unless we talk to the younger
generation and observe them closely, we
will not know their demands. A program
like this [reverse mentoring] sends a
message that no matter how high up
you are, you are never too old to learn20.”
Such reverse mentoring programs have
been pioneered by General Electric and
adopted by companies such as L’Oréal
and Cisco.

Digitizing the Recruitment
Process Encourages Bestin-Class Digital Talent to
Engage
Digital talent does not lend itself to easy
recruitment. Indeed, a survey indicates
that over 49% of candidates are more
likely to consider a job advertised in
an innovative way. The same survey
found that over three-quarters of HR
professionals think that it has become
crucial to use new ways to recruit and
retain talent21. L’Oréal’s website ‘Reveal’
gamifies its recruitment process. The
website lets visitors communicate
with employees and take part in reallife, problem-solving scenarios within
a virtual environment. The game-like
setting allows visitors to collect points
and receive feedback. The users with
the highest points compete for prizes
and job opportunities with L’Oréal22.
When recruiting for skills that are in
short supply, organizations should look
outside their industry towards those who
have already taken a lead in developing
similar talent. For instance, when gaming
company Caesars wanted to build
their analytics capability, they targeted
employees from financial services

8

companies. These included companies
such as Capital One, American Express
and First USA — companies that were
early movers in developing analytics
talent and, thus, were a good source of
such talent for Caesars23.

Over 49% of candidates
are more likely to consider
a job advertised in an
innovative way.

Targeted Company
Acquisitions Help Access
Skilled Hires in Key Digital
Technology Areas
Targeted company acquisitions help
organizations gain complementary digital
talent rapidly. For instance, Walmart
Labs, the social and mobile lab of WalMart, has acquired several firms for their
talent in specific areas/technologies.
These companies have ranged from
mobile-related agencies focused on
product development — Small Society,
search engine Kosmix, point-of-sale
development startup Grabble — to a
real-time search engine called OneRiot24.

Partnerships with Online
Skill Platforms Facilitate
Innovative Product
Development
Partnerships enable companies to
leverage the digital expertise of other
organizations. Such partnerships allow
companies to engage best-in-class talent
or services for their digital initiatives.
For instance, Boehringer Ingelheim, a
pharmaceutical company, partnered
with Kaggle — a platform for data
prediction competitions — to create
predictive models for clinical research.
The partnership aimed at leveraging the
skills of data scientists present on the

Kaggle platform to develop models to be
used for drug development. The threemonth long competition attracted 700
teams that, between them, submitted
close to 9,000 entries25.

Incubating Startups Allows
Companies to Tap into a
Repertoire of New Ideas
Companies can gain access to external
digital talent by nurturing niche startups
and providing them with assistance and
opportunities. Such initiatives provide
companies with an opportunity to look
at a larger number of ideas, which they
either have not been able to focus on or
develop due to lack of required skill sets
within the company.
For instance, Nike has partnered with
Techstars — a startup accelerator —
for their Nike+ Accelerator program,
to provide select startups with the
opportunity to build products on top of
the Nike+ and NikeFuel platforms. The
program aims to leverage the Nike+
platform to support digital innovation.
Selected companies get access to
Nike’s development tools, office facilities
and technical platforms and support, to
create solutions. Nike also supports the
selected companies by providing access
to a select list of Nike executives and
external mentors26. Similar initiatives have
also been started by companies such as
Mondelez.
Beyond these models, there are several
other approaches to identifying digital
talent. There are multiple validated, virtual
talent pools that are coming up. These
‘Expert Networks’ increasingly connect
disconnected and geographically spread
talent with clients. Some examples
include the Gerson Lehrman Group and
Capvision27.
In the next and final section, we propose
a roadmap for how organizations can
develop their digital skills and also offer a
self-assessment model to help companies
quickly assess where they stand in their
digital skills development journey.
A Roadmap for Successful Digital
Skills Development
Digital skills requirements vary from one
organization to the other based on their
digital maturity and transformational
capability. Key focus areas will depend
on individual business requirements
as well as availability of resources.
Organizations need to define a vision,
identify future skill requirements,
undertake a comprehensive skills gap
assessment, take steps to bridge the gap
and finally initiate actions to constantly
evaluate progress in their journey to
develop digital skills (see Figure 4).

Define Vision and Identify
Future Skill Requirements
The first step in progressing on the digital
skills acquisition road is to define a clear

digital skills vision for the organization.
What are the key skills that the company
needs if it has to meet its larger digital
transformation goals? This analysis
should be driven by the business with
the involvement of HR and IT teams.

Perform a Skills Gap
Analysis
Once a vision has been established
and future skills requirements defined,
organizations need to conduct a selfassessment of their existing skills. The
aim is to compare existing skills levels
to desired levels of proficiency and
determine the skills gaps. This should be
driven by HR with support from business
and IT.

Determine the digital proficiency of
employees
The first step is to determine the digital
proficiency and level of online influence of
employees. For this purpose, scores from
third-party services such as Kloutd, Krede
and Kagglef can be useful in assessing
employees’ understanding and usage
of specific digital technologies. HR
should drive this step with the support
of marketing.
Use these findings to identify digital
personae of employees
The extent of digital-savviness in
employees will help determine the kind
of skills gap that exists and potential
ways to bridge this gap. Typically,
senior leadership has a strong stake
in business-level decisions, and this is
no different when it comes to the skills
development strategy of the business.
However, it is important to ask: do these
influencers have the necessary digital
know-how to drive the vision forward?
What about employees who use digital
platforms to engage professionally with
colleagues and customers? How wellplaced are they in being pioneers of
change? Employees who use digital
platforms such as social media for
staying connected on the personal front
maybe well-versed with digital tools.
However, will they be willing to use these
skills to accelerate skills development in
the larger organization? Then, of course,
there are people with purely functional
roles who may not be inclined towards
digital but might need to sharpen their
digital prowess if they want to remain
competitive. This stage should also
be driven by HR with the support of
marketing.

Determine Methods to
Overcome the Skills Gap

Develop an Iterative System
of Monitoring Progress

The next step is to overcome the skills
gap through the approaches discussed
earlier. However, the type of method
used will differ based on the technology
focus area, intensity of the skills gap
as well as availability of resources. For
instance, employees with high Klout
and Kred scores typically tend to have
a high degree of social media savviness
and influence. These individuals can
potentially become mentors as part of
a reverse mentoring program, similar to
what companies such as L’Oreal and
GE have done. Similarly, employees with
high Kaggle scores can be leveraged to
train other employees for improving their
analytics skills. In such scenarios, the
organization can tap into their in-house
pool of talent instead of looking at thirdparty training services.

Once the methods to bridge the
skills gap have been implemented,
it is crucial to establish a continuous
system of monitoring progress. In the
case of internal trainings, for instance,
organizations could start by rolling out
a basic training and evaluation system.
Companies should continue evaluating
their programs as before but use realtime technologies to increase their
agility in adjusting training content and
couple it with more frequent talent
performance evaluation. Similarly, if a
training program is not producing the
optimum levels of participation, methods
such as gamification can be used to
drive up engagement levels. The idea
is to measure the impact of training on
behaviors as opposed to focusing on
training delivery.
Organizations across the globe are
facing an acute shortage around digital
skills. When it comes to overcoming this

shortage, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’
approach because every organization
has its own unique requirements.
Procter & Gamble established a baseline
for all its employees through a “digital
skills inventory,” and set proficiency
expectations for specific roles and career
progression28. Pepsi launched its “digital
fitness” program to keep its marketers’
digital skills up to par29. It is essential
to define a customized approach that
makes the best use of available assets
and resources, and leverages the most
impactful methods to bridge the skills
divide.
Building digital skills is only a part
of the overall digital transformation
agenda. Organizations will have to
continue working towards sustaining the
advantage that they gain through these
digital skills. This will require sustained
efforts towards training and re-skilling.
Acquiring digital skills is the first, albeit
significant, step of a long journey to a
successful digital transformation.

Research Methodology
The research included in the paper is a combination of multiple surveys that have been conducted by Capgemini Consulting at
varying points in time as well as select interviews of academics and business professionals.
We first conducted an in-depth research with the MIT Center of Digital Business interviewing more than 150 senior executives
from large enterprises from across the globe. For further details and insights from this research please refer to Digital
Transformation: A Road-Map for Billion-Dollar Organizations. The Phase 2 of the research with MIT focused on benchmarking
digital practices around the globe. As a part of this effort, survey responses were gathered from 469 executives in 391 large
companies around the world. For further details on the insights from this phase, please refer to The Digital Advantage: How
digital leaders outperform their peers in every industry.
To conduct further deep-dive analysis of specific issues, Capgemini Consulting carried out a Digital Maturity Assessment
Survey in 2012 and 2013, seeking opinion from over 130 executives from companies spread across the globe. The results of
all these surveys identified relevant digital skills as one of the major concern areas for companies trying to realize benefits from
digital transformation. To understand the precise pain areas in developing digital skills, we conducted a Digital Skills Survey in
2013. As a part of this research, we surveyed HR decision makers with the aim of understanding the efforts and approaches
companies are employing to overcome the acute shortage in digital skills.
We also conducted detailed interviews of board members of INFORMS, the Institute for Operations Research and the
Management Sciences, which is headquartered in Baltimore, United States.

The Digital Talent Gap - Developing Skills for Today’s Digital Organizations

  • 1. The Digital Talent Gap Developing Skills for Today’s Digital Organizations
  • 2. The War for Talent Has Gone Digital The shortage of digital skills in the current marketplace is unprecedented. It is estimated that over 4.4 million IT jobs will be created around Big Data by 2015; however, only a third of these new jobs will be filled1. Martha Lane Fox, the UK’s digital inclusion champion, believes over 16 million people in the UK lack the basic digital skills to fully benefit from the Internet2. Even Millenials are a matter of concern. In a survey comprising over 800 middle to upper management executives from over 50 industries, nearly one in five Millenials in the modern workplace are perceived to be lacking in analytical skills3. The impact of digital technologies is now felt not only in the IT department, but across the entire organization, creating a huge demand for digital skills. The reasons driving this skills shortage are not hard to identify. The usage of mobile, social and analytical tools is permeating the length and breadth of every function across the organization. Unlike the past, the impact of these digital technologies and tools is felt not just in the IT department. This means that the magnitude of training and re-skilling that is required is enormous. Moreover, each new technology cycle has brought forth new requirements and these cycles are increasingly getting shorter. Employees must now refresh their skills more frequently if they wish to stay relevant in this rapidly changing digital environment. The head of India R&D Labs of software firm SAP succinctly states: “The shelf life of a software engineer today is no more than that of a cricketer – about 15 years. The 20-year-old guys provide me more value than the 35-year-olds do.4” digital skills as the key hurdle to their digital transformation5. Digital leaders or ‘Digirati’a are already investing in digital skills and reaping significant benefits in comparison to other companies (see Figure 1). On average, ‘Digirati’ are 26% more profitable than their industry competitors. This skills shortage is creating a ‘war for talent’, where companies have to compete for the best talent with new categories of players. Unlike in the past, the hunt for the best talent is no more limited to localized skills in certain departments. In this case, the talent war is manifest across the entire organization. The important questions are: Do organizations include digital skills as a key component in their workforce plans? Are HR departments equipped and skilled to bring innovative solutions to bridge the digital skills gap? How are Digiratis developing digital skills? Organizations are beginning to recognize the magnitude of the problem. Our own research with the MIT Center for Digital Business has revealed that 77% of companies considered missing Figure 1: Digital Leaders or ‘Digirati’ are already investing in digital skills and reaping the benefits We are investing in the necessary digital skills We agree/strongly agree we have digital skills 26% Digirati All others 11% 82% 25% 23% 7% 9% 40% 82% of respondents from Digirati agreed, compared to 40% in other firms Analytics Social All Others Mobile Digirati Source: Capgemini Consulting – MIT Center for Digital Business Research, The Digital Advantage: How digital leaders outperform their peers in every industry, 2012 a 2 Organizations that truly transform by leveraging digital technologies
  • 3. Current Approaches to Developing Digital Skills are Broken 77% of companies consider missing digital skills as the key hurdle to their Digital Transformation. Organizations are currently facing an acute shortage of digital skills. To find out the current level of skills shortage and reasons behind this shortage, we interviewed companies across the globe. Companies are Not Investing in Digital Skills Over 90% of the companies we interviewed stated that they did not have necessary skills in the areas of social media, mobile, internal social networks, process automation and performance monitoring and analysis6. That is not to say they do not realize the importance of such digital skills. Our research with the MIT uncovered that 87% of companies feel digital transformation is a competitive opportunity7. However, only 46% were investing in the development of digital skills8. Despite the skills shortage, only 46% of companies are investing in developing digital skills. Training Programs are Out of Sync A key challenge that we uncovered was how out of sync the training efforts were. We found that only 4% of companies ensured that their training efforts were aligned with their overall digital strategy. The result of this lack of synchronization and alignment became clear when we analyzed corporate training budgets allocated to digital. We found that none of the companies we surveyed spends more than 20% of its training budget on digital. Such poor investment is clearly reflected in the limited reach of training initiatives. For an overwhelming 95% of companies, only 20% of their workforce benefited from trainings on digital8 (see page 4). Only 4% of companies we interviewed are aligning their training efforts with their digital strategy. Many Companies Continue to Use Traditional Approaches for Sourcing Digital Skills Companies seem to be overly cautious and conservative in their acquisition of digital skills. We found that while companies are increasingly using multiple methods to source digital skills, they still rely heavily on traditional methods such as training, recruitment and partnership. In our survey, over 63% of companies are using such traditional methods to source digital talent10. On the other hand, only 13% of companies are using innovative methods such as targeted company acquisition or an incubator approach (see page 4). While traditional methods definitely need to be considered, other inventive avenues present many untapped opportunities. There have been many success stories of companies that have used innovative approaches such as acquiring companies and engaging startups through incubation. The Human Resources Function is Not Actively Involved in Digital Skills Development An added challenge appears to be the fact that HR is not in the driver’s seat when it comes to steering digital skills development. We found that only 30% of organizations have mentioned HR as being actively involved in skills development11. So, the question remains who is managing the transformation of skills if it is not HR? In over 60% of the companies we surveyed, it was the senior leadership, IT division, functional teams and employees who were spearheading digital skills development12. This lack of investment and alignment with digital strategy is worrisome as it means that companies still have a long way to go before they can resolve their digital skills issue. Apart from the investment focus, a talent shortage of the magnitude that organizations face today requires a more proactive stance on the part of companies. Organizations need to tap into newer platforms for acquiring skills while also accelerating the pace of skills development. They need to understand that traditional skills and approaches are not going to help them in the digital age. In the next section, we take a look at the skills that organizations need in order to thrive in the digital world. 3

  • 5. What Skills are Most Relevant for the Digital Age? One of the common challenges that most organizations have faced in the past is how technical teams and business teams speak different languages. In today’s digital age, this will prove to be a significant hurdle. The proliferation of digital tools and technologies across functions means that the business worker has to learn sufficient technical skills. At the same time, the technical engineer should be ready to speak the business language in order to be in sync with their marketing and product counterparts. In the long-term, the need is for an evolved professional who is equally comfortable with business and technology (see Figure 2). There is Demand for New Types of Technical Skills There is a growing usage of Big Data analytics, social media platforms and mobile devices. This, is turn, is forcing employees to acquire skills in these areas. For instance, our survey indicated that over 50% of companies realize that mobile is one of the two most important Over 50% of companies realize mobile is a key skill for digital transformation; over 80% of them face a talent shortage in mobile. skills for digital transformation. However, over 80% of these companies face a talent shortage in mobile13. Mobile skills encompass design skills, e.g. platformdesign, user-interface and gamification as well as technical skills such as app development, cloud services, mobile device management and security. Similarly, in a survey conducted with American executives, over 85% mentioned that they have a Big Data initiative planned or in progress; however, only 21% rated their company’s analytics capabilities as “more than adequate” or “world class”. Moreover, all respondents cited facing issues while hiring analytical talent with more than 75% saying that it is challenging to source such skills14. Like mobile and analytics, social media skills is another skill area that is in demand. In a survey conducted with respondents from organizations with over 50,000 employees, only 13% of companies described their social media efforts as advanced15. These social media skills encompass soft skills such as building a brand, community participation, virtual facilitation, online etiquette and front-end engagement skills such as social media outreach, community management, customer service and public relations. Our Digital Maturity Assessment survey also highlighted that over 50% of companies lacked social media skills. Only 13% of companies described their social media efforts as advanced.

  • 6. Technical Talents Need a Strong Understanding of Business The lack of advanced technical skills in mobile, analytics and social media isn’t the only challenge that companies face. They also need to increasingly complement these digital skills with business acumen. The true potential of digital skills is realized when they are combined with a robust understanding of the business. For instance, the real value of data analytics stems from an organization’s ability to operationalize these insights. This requires combining data prowess with strategic and creative thinking, collaboration and communication skills. This is leading to a growing demand for individuals who possess technical skills along with business strategy and leadership abilities. Markus Nordlin, the CIO of Zurich Insurance, sums up the requirement for the future leaders, “I believe that the successful leaders of tomorrow, in any business or industry, are going to be true hybrid professionals who have spent some time in IT but have shifted to operations and vice-versa.16” And when it comes to the next generation of talent, Anne G. Robinsonb, President of INFORMSc emphasized how critical it is that “analytics graduates learn program management and change management, so they understand and drive the endto-end analytics process.” I believe that the successful leaders of tomorrow are going to be true hybrid professionals who have spent some time in IT but have shifted to operations and vice-versa. - Markus Nordlin, CIO Zurich Insurance Business Professionals Must Understand the Language of IT By 2015, research firm IDC expects that 90% of all jobs will require Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills17. Business professionals will increasingly need to be comfortable with digital tools and technologies in order to perform their core roles. They need to understand the language of IT that will enable them to have a healthy conversation with their IT colleagues on how best they want to serve their customers. Indeed, IDC expects that 50% of new marketing hires in 2013 will have technical backgrounds18. By 2015, it is expected that 90% of all jobs will require Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills. So, what does the digital-savvy professional of the future look like? Future employees will need to combine excellent digital specialist skills with deep functional business knowledge. They should be comfortable with short delivery cycles and be able to operate across silos and within cross-functional teams. They need to ensure they are ahead of the technology curve and in roles where they can add value beyond what digital technology generates. Terry Harrison, past President of INFORMS and Professor at the Penn State University puts it directly, “It is no longer sufficient that you think of your job as doing what you have constantly done for many years. If you have that mindset long enough then software will be developed to do what you do making you redundant.” However, getting to an organization that is filled with employees having such skills is not an easy task. It requires plugging of the digital skills gap. In the next section, we propose some approaches to achieving this. b Anne G. Robinson is the Director, Supply Chain Strategy and Analytics at Verizon Wireless. c INFORMS: Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences and is headquartered in Baltimore, USA. 6
  • 7. How Can Organizations Plug the Skills Gap? The growing demand and limited supply of digital talent is placing immense pressure on organizations to scale up on their digital skills. We believe organizations need to initiate training programs on digital tools, look at innovative recruitment methods, carry out targeted acquisitions, enter into partnerships and engage with the startup community in order to plug the digital skills gap (see Figure 3). Employee Exchange Programs with Technology Companies Aid in Accelerating Digital Training Training programs on digital skills help employees understand how to use and implement new technologies and platforms. P&G is an interesting example of a company that has trained its employees on digital skills to scale up for future growth. To step up its Internet marketing initiatives and to scale up digital skills amongst its employees, P&G and Google started an employee exchange program. The aim of the program was to foster innovation and crosspollination of digital talent. Employees from both companies took part in each other’s training programs and attended meetings where business plans were formalized. With this program, P&G gained expertise on digital and search marketing to effectively sell its products online19. P&G entered into an employee-exchange program with Google to step up its Internet marketing initiatives and scale-up digital skills. Next Generation Learning in Action Initially, Intel launched their Digital IQ training program in 2008. The program comprised 60 online courses spanning areas such as social media measurement, brand identity in social media, mobile marketing and viral marketing. Within two years of its launch, over 20,000 employees had completed the Digital IQ training. Going a step further, Intel introduced another course, called Digital IQ 500, which licenses Intel employees to practice social media on behalf of the company.

  • 8. The need for employees to have a thorough understanding of digital technologies and their business applications also extends to senior executives. Effective reverse mentoring programs help address this gap. The importance of learning from the younger generation is highlighted by Krish Shankar, Head of HR at Indian communication group Bharti Airtel. According to him, “The future of technology will be defined by the youth, and unless we talk to the younger generation and observe them closely, we will not know their demands. A program like this [reverse mentoring] sends a message that no matter how high up you are, you are never too old to learn20.” Such reverse mentoring programs have been pioneered by General Electric and adopted by companies such as L’Oréal and Cisco. Digitizing the Recruitment Process Encourages Bestin-Class Digital Talent to Engage Digital talent does not lend itself to easy recruitment. Indeed, a survey indicates that over 49% of candidates are more likely to consider a job advertised in an innovative way. The same survey found that over three-quarters of HR professionals think that it has become crucial to use new ways to recruit and retain talent21. L’Oréal’s website ‘Reveal’ gamifies its recruitment process. The website lets visitors communicate with employees and take part in reallife, problem-solving scenarios within a virtual environment. The game-like setting allows visitors to collect points and receive feedback. The users with the highest points compete for prizes and job opportunities with L’Oréal22. When recruiting for skills that are in short supply, organizations should look outside their industry towards those who have already taken a lead in developing similar talent. For instance, when gaming company Caesars wanted to build their analytics capability, they targeted employees from financial services 8 companies. These included companies such as Capital One, American Express and First USA — companies that were early movers in developing analytics talent and, thus, were a good source of such talent for Caesars23. Over 49% of candidates are more likely to consider a job advertised in an innovative way. Targeted Company Acquisitions Help Access Skilled Hires in Key Digital Technology Areas Targeted company acquisitions help organizations gain complementary digital talent rapidly. For instance, Walmart Labs, the social and mobile lab of WalMart, has acquired several firms for their talent in specific areas/technologies. These companies have ranged from mobile-related agencies focused on product development — Small Society, search engine Kosmix, point-of-sale development startup Grabble — to a real-time search engine called OneRiot24. Partnerships with Online Skill Platforms Facilitate Innovative Product Development Partnerships enable companies to leverage the digital expertise of other organizations. Such partnerships allow companies to engage best-in-class talent or services for their digital initiatives. For instance, Boehringer Ingelheim, a pharmaceutical company, partnered with Kaggle — a platform for data prediction competitions — to create predictive models for clinical research. The partnership aimed at leveraging the skills of data scientists present on the Kaggle platform to develop models to be used for drug development. The threemonth long competition attracted 700 teams that, between them, submitted close to 9,000 entries25. Incubating Startups Allows Companies to Tap into a Repertoire of New Ideas Companies can gain access to external digital talent by nurturing niche startups and providing them with assistance and opportunities. Such initiatives provide companies with an opportunity to look at a larger number of ideas, which they either have not been able to focus on or develop due to lack of required skill sets within the company. For instance, Nike has partnered with Techstars — a startup accelerator — for their Nike+ Accelerator program, to provide select startups with the opportunity to build products on top of the Nike+ and NikeFuel platforms. The program aims to leverage the Nike+ platform to support digital innovation. Selected companies get access to Nike’s development tools, office facilities and technical platforms and support, to create solutions. Nike also supports the selected companies by providing access to a select list of Nike executives and external mentors26. Similar initiatives have also been started by companies such as Mondelez. Beyond these models, there are several other approaches to identifying digital talent. There are multiple validated, virtual talent pools that are coming up. These ‘Expert Networks’ increasingly connect disconnected and geographically spread talent with clients. Some examples include the Gerson Lehrman Group and Capvision27. In the next and final section, we propose a roadmap for how organizations can develop their digital skills and also offer a self-assessment model to help companies quickly assess where they stand in their digital skills development journey.
  • 9. A Roadmap for Successful Digital Skills Development Digital skills requirements vary from one organization to the other based on their digital maturity and transformational capability. Key focus areas will depend on individual business requirements as well as availability of resources. Organizations need to define a vision, identify future skill requirements, undertake a comprehensive skills gap assessment, take steps to bridge the gap and finally initiate actions to constantly evaluate progress in their journey to develop digital skills (see Figure 4). Define Vision and Identify Future Skill Requirements The first step in progressing on the digital skills acquisition road is to define a clear digital skills vision for the organization. What are the key skills that the company needs if it has to meet its larger digital transformation goals? This analysis should be driven by the business with the involvement of HR and IT teams. Perform a Skills Gap Analysis Once a vision has been established and future skills requirements defined, organizations need to conduct a selfassessment of their existing skills. The aim is to compare existing skills levels to desired levels of proficiency and determine the skills gaps. This should be driven by HR with support from business and IT. Figure 4: Roadmap for Successful Skills Development 1 2 Define vision and identify future skill requirements Undertake skills gap assessment Developing Digital Skills 4 3 Constantly evaluate progress Bridge the skills gap Determine the digital proficiency of employees The first step is to determine the digital proficiency and level of online influence of employees. For this purpose, scores from third-party services such as Kloutd, Krede and Kagglef can be useful in assessing employees’ understanding and usage of specific digital technologies. HR should drive this step with the support of marketing. Use these findings to identify digital personae of employees The extent of digital-savviness in employees will help determine the kind of skills gap that exists and potential ways to bridge this gap. Typically, senior leadership has a strong stake in business-level decisions, and this is no different when it comes to the skills development strategy of the business. However, it is important to ask: do these influencers have the necessary digital know-how to drive the vision forward? What about employees who use digital platforms to engage professionally with colleagues and customers? How wellplaced are they in being pioneers of change? Employees who use digital platforms such as social media for staying connected on the personal front maybe well-versed with digital tools. However, will they be willing to use these skills to accelerate skills development in the larger organization? Then, of course, there are people with purely functional roles who may not be inclined towards digital but might need to sharpen their digital prowess if they want to remain competitive. This stage should also be driven by HR with the support of marketing. Source: Capgemini Consulting Analysis d Klout Score is a numerical value between 1 and 100 and is measured on the basis of user’s social media network, content created and the interaction by other users with that content. e Kred is an influence measure for social media. It is given as a dual score to distinguish the person’s Influence and Outreach on social media. f Kaggle score is a score derived based on the number and complexity of data related competitions a person has successfully participated in on the Kaggle platform. 9

  • 11. Determine Methods to Overcome the Skills Gap Develop an Iterative System of Monitoring Progress The next step is to overcome the skills gap through the approaches discussed earlier. However, the type of method used will differ based on the technology focus area, intensity of the skills gap as well as availability of resources. For instance, employees with high Klout and Kred scores typically tend to have a high degree of social media savviness and influence. These individuals can potentially become mentors as part of a reverse mentoring program, similar to what companies such as L’Oreal and GE have done. Similarly, employees with high Kaggle scores can be leveraged to train other employees for improving their analytics skills. In such scenarios, the organization can tap into their in-house pool of talent instead of looking at thirdparty training services. Once the methods to bridge the skills gap have been implemented, it is crucial to establish a continuous system of monitoring progress. In the case of internal trainings, for instance, organizations could start by rolling out a basic training and evaluation system. Companies should continue evaluating their programs as before but use realtime technologies to increase their agility in adjusting training content and couple it with more frequent talent performance evaluation. Similarly, if a training program is not producing the optimum levels of participation, methods such as gamification can be used to drive up engagement levels. The idea is to measure the impact of training on behaviors as opposed to focusing on training delivery. Organizations across the globe are facing an acute shortage around digital skills. When it comes to overcoming this shortage, there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach because every organization has its own unique requirements. Procter & Gamble established a baseline for all its employees through a “digital skills inventory,” and set proficiency expectations for specific roles and career progression28. Pepsi launched its “digital fitness” program to keep its marketers’ digital skills up to par29. It is essential to define a customized approach that makes the best use of available assets and resources, and leverages the most impactful methods to bridge the skills divide. Building digital skills is only a part of the overall digital transformation agenda. Organizations will have to continue working towards sustaining the advantage that they gain through these digital skills. This will require sustained efforts towards training and re-skilling. Acquiring digital skills is the first, albeit significant, step of a long journey to a successful digital transformation. Research Methodology The research included in the paper is a combination of multiple surveys that have been conducted by Capgemini Consulting at varying points in time as well as select interviews of academics and business professionals. We first conducted an in-depth research with the MIT Center of Digital Business interviewing more than 150 senior executives from large enterprises from across the globe. For further details and insights from this research please refer to Digital Transformation: A Road-Map for Billion-Dollar Organizations. The Phase 2 of the research with MIT focused on benchmarking digital practices around the globe. As a part of this effort, survey responses were gathered from 469 executives in 391 large companies around the world. For further details on the insights from this phase, please refer to The Digital Advantage: How digital leaders outperform their peers in every industry. To conduct further deep-dive analysis of specific issues, Capgemini Consulting carried out a Digital Maturity Assessment Survey in 2012 and 2013, seeking opinion from over 130 executives from companies spread across the globe. The results of all these surveys identified relevant digital skills as one of the major concern areas for companies trying to realize benefits from digital transformation. To understand the precise pain areas in developing digital skills, we conducted a Digital Skills Survey in 2013. As a part of this research, we surveyed HR decision makers with the aim of understanding the efforts and approaches companies are employing to overcome the acute shortage in digital skills. We also conducted detailed interviews of board members of INFORMS, the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, which is headquartered in Baltimore, United States. 11
