Through our Edge Services Platform , we have designed an architecture that spans from the remote working to your branch , campus and data centre .
You have noted that a digital service backbone and the teams designing and using it will require new skills – some of which are not clear yet . How do smart companies address this tough talent challenge ?
The global digital skills gap is growing at an exponential rate . According to the Coursera 2019 Global Skills Index , a whopping twothirds of the global population is falling behind in terms of critical skills , with 90 % being in developing economies such as South Africa .
To fully realise the potential of the Fourth Industrial Revolution , many companies are realising that a one-size-fits-all approach to talent management won ’ t work in today ’ s volatile , uncertain , complicated and ambiguous world . Instead , many global organisations are looking towards a creative and insights-driven approach to bridging the skills gap and finding talent .
We continue to drive local growth and skills but can access a global talent pool if required .
