What’s Inside this eBook

Overview

Digitalization is no longer in the future. The digital era has already dawned upon us, and its power can’t be underestimated. Businesses must align their workforce with the future of work. The need to address the uncertainty of the digital revolution has never been so imminent at the organizational as well as at the individual level, failing which organizations could head toward becoming entirely obsolete.

Organizations are continually upgrading to newer technologies and ways of work. This can’t be done in silos. Organizations need to parallelly train, upskill and reskill employees to get them at par with the pace of transformation. That’s where a digital readiness assessment can step in, assess your employees, and help you create a human-centric strategy.

Some employees don’t understand why their organization needs to change, which can be a significant bottleneck. Others may be capable to help you lead and manage this change.

Organizations need to keep employees at the center stage of this exercise and understand the level of readiness of their employees in order to truly embrace the vastness of digital transformation.
