3. “Companies are acutely aware of this mismatch. In a 2017 study by CapGemini and LinkedIn, 54% of companies said the
digital talent gap was widening and their organisation had lost competitive advantage because of the shortage of talent.
Those with a combination of hard and soft skills—such as data engineers who are also customer-focused and good at
teamwork—were particularly hard to find. And according to the 2021 Talent Trends Report released in January by
Randstad Sourceright, 40% of executives and human capital leaders report that talent scarcity has negatively affected
their organisation––the highest total in the past five years.”

4. What is Digital
Talent
• Digital talent is characterised by a combination of business acumen
and technological skill (Kyrill Hartog, 2021)
• Digital talent is simply the prowess to handle or implement a
successful digital transformation program. With the kind of changes
brought about by digital transformation, the skills required to
implement it are also different. Digital talent is someone who knows
how to interact with a given digital environment. Knowing Business
acumen and bring profit in your organization. (Anastasia Belyh, 2019)
• Digital Talent is the talented employees who are able to adapt and
use the existing digital technologies. Learn more in: Understanding
Digital Congruence in Industry 4.0 (IGI Global)
• Digital talent is someone who has the technological skills to make
things easier. However, the technical skill alone is not enough. Digital
talent needs to have business acumen as well as hard skills. They
need to understand the reasons behind the actions, not just know
how to use technology. (digital business, 2021)

skills to make things easier, characterised by a

need to understand the reasons behind the actions, not

to handle or implement a successful digital
transformation program.

7. The Following Are Several Profiles
From The Six Areas Of Impact:
• The digital venture strategist provides leadership across any stage of a digital
business model, whether the strategist is sitting in a digital spinoff, digital
department, strategic function, or elsewhere.
• The marketing automation specialist supports digital marketing using
artificial-intelligence bots to interact with customers online.
• The user interface (UI) and user experience (UE) designers, part of the digital
development impact area, focus on interfaces and experiences for users of
software applications.
• The data scientist, part of the advanced analytics team, analyzes and
interprets data and is capable of, for instance, finding hidden connections or
interesting patterns in data.
• The robotics and automation engineer builds, configures, and tests robots,
primarily for manufacturing purposes.
• The scrum master is proficient with the latest ways of managing development
projects and facilitating agile ways of working.

8. The Soft Skills That
Define True Digital Talent
• The talent gap in soft skills is even wider than in hard skills,
according to a 2017 CapGemini report: “More employers (59%) say
that their organisation lacks employees who possess soft digital
skills than hard digital skills (51%). The two soft digital skills in most
demand are customer-centricity and passion for learning and the
two hard digital skills in most demand are cybersecurity and cloud
computing.”
• What companies are looking for, and what the digital world
demands, are professionals who offer the best of both worlds. They
are masterful UX designers, machine learning experts or
developers who also possess essential soft skills, such as the
ability to build a brand, understand and care about community
participation, customer service and even public relations.
• The required balance of hard and soft skills will differ across
sectors and companies, but the combination of technical and
business skills is crucial.

9. Five Qualities Of
True Digital Talent
▪ They are generalists
▪ They have business acumen
▪ They are passionate
▪ They are open-minded
▪ They are borderless

10. Here Are The Hard
Talents Businesses
Are Looking For:
• Cybersecurity - The need for cybersecurity
skills is a result of the ever-present danger
of hacking. Business networks have
become valuable playgrounds for hackers
who seek ways of infiltrating the systems to
wreck havoc.
• Cloud computing – this is another technical
skill. Cloud computing solutions have
recently become very user friendly. This
does not in any way do away with hard
talent. There are levels of implementation
and operations which need a technical
person.

11. How To Be A Better
Digital Talent
• Adaptive - One thing you should
never forget as a digital talent is to be
adaptive. Technology change so fast,
so digital talent needs to be adaptive
to catch up with the wave. Try to not
confine yourself to new things so that
you can sow a passion for learning.
• Know business - you also need to
have customer-centricity skills: what
users need and how your business
provides that. Customer centricity –
this is where you think like the
customer. The customer becomes
central to your business.

12. Narrowing The Digital Talent Gap
• Assess Your Digital Talent Needs - You definitely know that you cannot
solve a problem which you do not understand. If you seek to do so, you
will only waste your resources. You might end up dealing with mere
symptoms rather than the real cause. To avoid this, you need to first of all
understand what digital skills you need.
• Assess Your Digital Talent Capabilities - With your needs for digital talent
known, next you need to check what you are currently capable of
providing. Here, you have to look beyond the normal areas of expertise.
• Strategize - There is one big mistake which you can make during your
journey towards digital transformation. This is thinking and acting as
though technology and everything about it is all you need.
• Adapt Accordingly - The saying that change is constant can never be
disputed. If by any chance nothing else changes, technology will. And
when technology changes, the way work is done changes. The mode of
communication also changes. Basically, life changes.
