Innovative content treatments such as high-motion iconography and an eye-catching, modern look and feel further enhance the learner experience. The video-based courses are supplemented with books, audio books, articles and other content assets for learning extension. Organisations can also take advantage of Skillsoft’s Digital Transformation Readiness Programme, a service for curating content from a wide variety of portfolios to create a customised, holistic digital transformation learning solution.
According to Predictions for 2018: Embracing Radical Transparency published by Bersin, Deloitte Consulting, LLP, “accelerating digital transformation will force new leadership models for organisations.” Transformation “demands that companies develop digital fluency – teaching people at all levels about digital terminology, technology, and business models.” This “new world of work demands more than improving the digital skills of midlevel managers. HR must now turn its attention to CEOs and other top-level executives.” (Bersin by Deloitte is the indispensable digital destination for the HR Professional to build capability, community and credibility, stay informed, and lead on workforce issues.)
