If you think of a traditional learning curve, it starts at the very bottom, where an individual works aggressively to move up a steep incline of acquiring new information and experience. After some time pushing up the hill, the curve eventually levels off when competence sets in.
Today, as developments and innovation in technology constantly change our world and how we work, we are forced to more regularly tackle new learning curves and shift our mindset to one of continuous learning.
Technology companies need to keep up with this rapid pace of change and offer platforms to enable continuous learning for their various audiences. While many recognize the need to empower their employee base to learn new skills and stay up-to-speed with the latest trends, it is also equally important to provide learning opportunities for the future workforce as well as customers.
Cultivating a Future-Focused Workforce
When it comes to a company鈥檚 employee base, we have seen a tremendous focus on upskilling. As defines it, upskilling is about 鈥渢aking current skills and refining them鈥� 鈥� helping employees learn how to perform their jobs better amid disruption within organizations and industries. 鈥�,鈥� published by the World Economic Forum in 2018, indicated that 54 percent of all employees will require reskilling and upskilling by 2022. This past January, the World Economic Forum鈥檚 related report on the 鈥溾�� further underscored upskilling priorities across various professional fields.
However, we need to look at upskilling today as more than just another trend arising from companies鈥� digital transformations. Rather, it is a powerful opportunity to fuel sustained growth 鈥� both within a company and across the entire industry at large. By cultivating a future-focused workforce that places value on consistently upskilling, we can improve upon and even develop new core competencies while ensuring that the next generation is well prepared to join in.
Fostering Continuous Learning Among Customers
At SAP, we strive to help customers transform and become intelligent enterprises while also serving as a partner along the learning journey continuum to equip customers鈥� employees with all the tools and training resources they need to become 鈥渋ntelligent鈥� as well. While customers take steps forward to digitally transform their business processes to stay competitive within the market, they must also ensure that their employees are taking similar steps forward to learn the necessary skills for navigating these new processes.
