We help businesses understand the gap in workforce digital skills. We convene employers to build collective action. And we provide the tools to drive change.

FutureDotNow delivers change through three key mechanisms:

Narrating

We are narrating the workforce digital skills challenge, and how to solve it, in new and compelling ways. Our expertise and insight is helping us build a common agenda on workforce digital capability.

Campaigning

A campaigning mindset is core to our work. Our communications strategy is designed to influence business action, public policy and, ultimately, individual behaviour.

Convening

A powerful coalition of business leaders, policy makers and experts enables us to surface practical solutions and coordinate collective action to drive systemic change on workforce digital skills.

Here are some of the ways that works in practice:

The 2025 Plan for Collective Action

During 2025, more than 50 cross-sector partners are working together on specific action as part of the delivery plan to close the workforce digital skills gap.

 

FutureDotNow Membership

Through access to online resources and regular events, we help our members understand, measure and close the workforce digital skills gap for their organisation. We provide profile raising opportunities and access to a national change programme.

The Workforce Digital Skills Charter

The Charter is a shared statement of ambition for all those working to close the essential digital skills gap in the UK workforce. It’s an articulation of how organisations are working together to drive action on a critical joint mission.
