What\u2019s happening today has thrown lives and work into turmoil, but we\u2019ve never adapted more quickly. What\u2019s enabling some businesses to pivot in record time is being grounded in the technology needed to keep the workflow going, and the people who possess the digital skills to make it happen.\xa0

Digital skills were in high demand before Covid-19, part of the digital transformation some call Work 4.0, and that demand is increasing. As businesses scale, adjust, strategize, and aim for the future, their survival depends on workforce that\u2019s skilled in digital skills \u2014\xa0including analytics, data-driven decision making, and new and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning.\xa0

How do you create that workforce, as a startup, an SMB, as a Fortune 500? By understanding the nature of your business, assessing what you need to function, and identifying the gaps. And there are effective strategies to assess the digital skills of prospective hires today that accommodate a changed hiring landscape.\xa0
