Bridge the skills gap and transform your workforce

For decades, digital transformation has remained an organisational challenge, becoming a never-ending project. At the heart of achieving digital fluency and driving change is a singular linchpin – your people. 

The pressing issue of digital transformation stems from more than just the need to keep up with AI and rapid technological change; it is about recognising the skills gaps in technical expertise, widespread digital fluency and change leadership. This skills gap is a significant factor in the failure of 69% of digital transformation projects (McKinsey), suggesting that a greater focus on the human aspect of digital transformation is required. Addressing this issue becomes a strategic imperative, crucial for fostering innovation and customer experience excellence. 

Why digital transformation cannot wait

Digital transformation is urgent. Many organisations face workforce scepticism about the need for new digital skills, yet global spending on digital technologies is projected to hit $3.9 trillion by 2027 (IDC). It’s not a question of if, but how your organisation will adapt to the digital era.

Question: What strategies do you recommend for developing interdisciplinary skills, especially for women in STEM looking to broaden their expertise?  “Having navigated diverse industries I understand how important it is for STEM professionals to identify and cultivate interdisciplinary skills. Women in STEM should embrace the T-shaped professional model, deepening expertise in one area while fostering a broad understanding of interconnected fields. As women in STEM, we should acknowledge our unique contributions while collaborating with mentors and peers to gain further insights and guidance. Take calculated risks to propel yourself forward, transforming challenges into opportunities. Actively engage in projects aligning with our strengths and building a robust network. Furthermore, embrace new and unfamiliar endeavours to develop the flexibility and agility needed to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of STEM. Aim high, look ahead and set ambitious goals.” Bio: Anneka Ariyo is renowned for her strategic acumen in utilising data to enhance business profitability across the UK, EU, and North America.

Our case studies: discover how organisations excel with our skills training

We embarked on our data analytics journey a couple of years ago. We had many enthusiastic and talented analysts, but they were spread across different departments without a centralised data warehouse. It has been a brilliant journey, setting up a small centre of excellence, bringing Hallmark along for the ride, and delivering substantial value to the business. Our primary goal is to make everyone across the entire business aware of how they use data, encourage them to optimise its usage, utilise existing tools, and understand how to extract even more value from it.

Data is a topic that can be quite elusive and it’s incredibly rare for individuals, especially those not in a “data” role to invest in their development as the day job takes over. This apprenticeship programme has uplifted both the capability and confidence of each apprentice, in turn adding immense value to our business. Corndel’s support, guidance, technical expertise and credibility have been instrumental throughout our journey and we’re looking forward to building on the successful of first programme with our next group of Hallmarkers in 2025.

“Our apprentice, Farhan, went away on the Corndel boot camp and came back a different person. Suddenly, all the technical jargon we were throwing around, he understood. We had planned to start with basic test projects, but it became apparent that we were wasting time. He needed to be challenged with more complex tasks. The difference was significant."
James Atherton, Development Manager at Chubb Fire and Security
“I understand how to make data-based decisions. Before, we never really based our decisions on data at all; it was very much gut instinct.”
