Leader Perspective – Simon Eaves, CEO UK & Ireland, Accenture

Tomorrow’s businesses will need digital skills at every level.

Their ability to meet changing customer expectations, improve business performance, increase productivity, drive innovation and create 360 degree value for multiple stakeholders will rely more and more on their ability to embrace digital technology.

To deliver on this promise, the workforce of the future must be supported with continuous learning around essential digital skills.

Organisations must come together to offer relevant training and coaching; driving the reskilling and upskilling of their people, as well as the broader labour market.

It is through a strong foundation of essential digital skills that organisations will be able to unleash the full potential of their talent, shape responsible, resilient businesses and drive
sustainable growth.
