Uncharted territories – how to bridge the skills gap to meet the challenges of emerging technologies
From Artificial Intelligence to Large Language Modelling, powerful new technologies have the potential to completely transform the business world – but only if businesses have a workforce with the skills to utilise these tools.What are the main concerns of UK businesses as they race to benefit from new technologies?Lack of expertise – 60%The workforce lacks the skills required to fully embrace emerging technologiesIntegration with existing systems – 40%New technologies may be impossible to integrate or even be harmful to existing systems.Data privacy, security and ethical concerns – 20%Potential lawsuits, intellectual property disputes, systemic security risks and the lack of guidance over ethical usages may be roadblocks to large-scale new technology adoption.Across the globe, businesses are facing an era of unprecedented change, moving into uncharted territories as new and unexpected technologies arrive with increasing speed. What was science fiction yesterday is suddenly commonplace today. However, even though these changes create endless opportunities and possibilities, the pace of advancement is bumping up against a hurdle; a skills gap between the enormous capabilities of these new technologies and the expertise that’s available within organisations to harness their benefits. In short, new technologies can only be as effective as the abilities of the people who use them. When skills lag, technologies fail.What does this mean for businesses? Bridging the skills gap is crucial for organisations if they wish to remain competitive. Business leaders must understand the potential impact of new technologies on their organisation, then develop effective strategies to future-proof their workforce.Myths and realities – the true shape of things to comeIt’s difficult to train your workforce to meet a challenge when you don’t know much about it, or the information you’ve been given is inaccurate. Amid the frantic assumptions that surround many new technologies, myths often blend with reality to create false perspectives. Common misconceptions include:TimingAn unending series of technology upgrades and launches can support the idea that everything is happening at light speed. However, the rate of change in technology is typically far slower than the rate of adoption. The media may give the impression that large-scale adoption and resulting change will occur very quickly, but in reality, this takes time, and it is never uniform. Some industries will adopt an important technology very quickly. Others will lag far behind. This means some businesses may have more time to upskill their workforce than they think they do.Technology will create unexpected, all-powerful competitors at short noticeMany businesses worry they are going to be immediately outflanked by a new competitor wielding a game-changing new technology. However, in practice, it is very difficult for startups to upset a well-established incumbent, at least in the short term. This is because business success is not based purely on technology or the adoption of a technology; more often it’s based on the depth of an organisation’s skills and the longevity of the valuable partnerships they’ve built over time. Strong skill sets can offset or blunt threats from even the best emerging technologies.Technology will put millions of people out of workProbably the most common misconception of all. Technology is often portrayed as a destroyer of jobs. In fact, it is likely that new technologies will create more jobs than they destroy. Technologies will augment, not replace humans in the workplace, making us more productive and eliminating many of the repetitive elements of work.Bridging the skills gapAccording to the World Economic Forum, 44% of the world’s current workforce must upskill or reskill their abilities to manage new technologies. What steps must organisations take to address the skills gap and ensure their workforce is prepared for the demands of the future economy?Training for all, not the fewFull engagement is essential for training programmes to succeed. This means demanding that all employees, including senior management, undergo regular upskilling training. Making the growth of their skills a job responsibility for all workers presents the task as a normal business expectation, reducing the potential for resistance and lower uptake.Bite-size learning can be more digestible and effective than immersive techniquesHumans have an attention span of less than nine seconds. The longer we concentrate on a task, the less effective we become. Training materials and programmes that deliver short, focused learning can have more impact than training sessions or content that run for hours and hours. Keep the lessons short. Make the results clear and decisive. More frequent but shorter training sessions will work better than all-day classes held weeks or months apart.Stress the personal importance of upskilling programmesWe take greater interest in developments that will impact us personally than we do if the changes only affect a third-party. Businesses must ensure their employees understand the personal value of upskilling to manage new technologies. What will they get out of it? Employees should know that better skills reduce their risk of obsolescence and can create more opportunities for their career advancement.Recognise workforce diversityTraining programmes must reflect the diversity of your workforce. Be aware that some of your employees will process reskilling and upskilling programmes differently, especially if they are neurodivergent. Flexibility must be factored into the programme structure and the environment or methods of delivery. Ensuring all your employees have the same opportunity to grow their technical skills is essential.With greater power comes greater responsibilityLastly, business leaders must consider the risks and ethical responsibilities that come with the adoption of the new and powerful technologies. Training employees to work with these new tools to increase productivity and efficiency is not enough. Workers must also be made aware of the potential pitfalls – practices that if managed poorly could lead to lawsuits or regulatory pressures – especially in sensitive areas such as cyber security and personal data management.Catch our webinar on-demand to learn more about bridging the skills gap to meet the challenges of emerging technologies.

The 10 best IT jobs that can be done remotely
These jobs within the IT and tech industry are the best for working from homeGetting up and going to the office every morning for work? For many IT jobs, this norm from our parents’ working world has long since fallen by the wayside. Especially since the coronavirus pandemic, companies have also started to think that it’s not where a job is done that counts, but rather how well the job is done. IT specialists are reaping the benefits of this development, as demand far exceeds supply in this area of the job market. In this blog post, you’ll find out which IT jobs are especially suitable for remote work – whether from home or the dream location of your choice.What characterises remote IT jobs?A few years ago, if you wanted to enjoy the greatest possible flexibility in your choice of workplace as an IT expert, you almost inevitably had to work as a freelancer. As enjoyable as that freedom is, however, working as a freelancer also comes with challenges: you must always ensure you have enough work, organise your invoices and finances independently, have less say in projects, and can’t change position within a company.Things are different nowadays! Since even large companies have become more flexible when it comes to the question of where you work, employees can often enjoy many of the freedoms that were previously only open to freelancers. At the same time, you enjoy all the benefits of being employed, such as a fixed salary, further training, more of a say in projects, and the usual opportunities for advancement and change under the umbrella of a company.The benefits of remote work can be seen from a 2022 survey of employees. According to the survey, employees who work full-time in the office are at least as satisfied with their work-life balance, while employees who work remotely have the best work-life balance.The 10 best IT jobs for remote workSolutions ArchitectA solutions architect analyses a company’s IT requirements and makes proposals as to what the specific IT equipment should look like based on this – from hardware and software solutions to the entire IT infrastructure. To be a solutions architect, you need to have both in-depth IT knowledge and be familiar with your company’s business strategy. This remote IT job will suit you if you like working in a structured, solution-oriented manner and possess excellent leadership and communication skills.DevOps EngineerThe acronym “DevOps” is a combination of the terms “development” and “operations”. As a DevOps engineer, you work in an agile software team and are responsible for the development and administration of your product. You can expect an incredibly varied role as a kind of software generalist. This is because the threads of the development and operations teams come together in your role. You coordinate these processes while using your extensive IT knowledge to ensure that no silo structures emerge in IT.Security EngineerAre you an expert in topics such as firewalls, cyber security, data security or information security? Then you fit the profile of a security engineer perfectly. In this remote IT job, you’ll be responsible for a company’s entire IT security structure: you’ll check the IT for potential security gaps, eliminate possible sources of errors for hackers and cyber-attacks as a preventive measure, and keep track of the general handling of data and information within the organisation. As IT security is becoming increasingly important, you’ll be a sought-after specialist as a security engineer.System AdministratorEven a system administrator can do their job remotely these days. It’s not possible to imagine a company without a system administrator. After all, they are the ones that ensure the company’s IT is kept up and running. The varied list of tasks includes planning, setting up and maintaining devices, programs and networks, managing user accounts, and monitoring IT security policies. As you can see from this list, you’ll need broad IT expertise as a system administrator.IT Project ManagerAs a result of digital transformation, IT projects are on the agenda in pretty much every company. Project managers plan, take responsibility for and coordinate these projects. Your tasks include communicating with stakeholders, managing requirements, monitoring timeframes and budgets, and reporting on project progress. In addition to solid IT knowledge, you’ll need excellent communication and leadership skills and be capable of solving problems. Working as an IT project manager can often be performed very well as a remote IT job, but sometimes also requires a certain willingness to travel.Data ArchitectData is playing an increasingly crucial role in numerous business processes in companies. As a result, the amount of data being generated and used continues to mount. Data architects are there to ensure that a company does not lose track of all this data. As a data architect, you have an overarching view of how data is handled in a company and ensure that working with data in the company is functional, user-friendly, secure and compliant. To get a remote IT job as a data architect, you not only need in-depth expertise in this area; you should also enjoy analytical work.Software ArchitectAre you familiar with software development and would like to take on more responsibility in your job? Then a remote IT role as a software architect offers you fantastic development opportunities. As a software architect, you work in software development and act as an interface between developers on the one hand and project management with stakeholders on the other. In doing so, you keep an eye on the conceptual side of software development from the testing phase to the rollout of the finished product.Web DeveloperAs a web developer, you design, program, maintain and optimise all kinds of internet-based software applications. Web developers are in high demand and can often do their job remotely from anywhere in the world. The challenges for web developers have grown steadily in recent years, as more and more applications become web-based these days. This has paved the way for many exciting fields of work for web developers in the frontend and backend areas.Product OwnerProduct owners fill an important interface in agile software production. In this role, you coordinate and oversee the end-to-end development of a software product in agile teams. For this purpose, you’ll be in close communication with stakeholders while also creating and maintaining the backlogs for the software developers. In addition to this sound IT knowledge, as a product owner you should have strong communication and organisational skills and be familiar with agile working methods such as Scrum or Kanban.UX DesignerComputer programs must not only function from a technical perspective; they must also be easy for users to operate. As a UX designer in software development, you’ll ensure that interaction with digital products is optimally aligned with the user experience. For this remote IT job, you need expertise in media and communications design, have basic knowledge of relevant programming languages, and enjoy working in a team on different projects.Bottom line: finding the right remote IT job for youThis list shows you how many jobs in IT are now offered as remote jobs. If your area of expertise is not included, it doesn’t mean there are no jobs out there for you. Take a look at the job offers for IT specialists on our website.
