How organisations can attract and nurture the talent required to fill the digital skills gap

Recruiting people for technical roles is one of the most acute challenges facing organisations and business leaders today. In fact, research from Microsoft and Dr Chris Brauer, Goldsmiths, University of London, shows that 69 percent of leaders say that their organisation is currently facing a digital skills shortage.

Digital technologies are now central to the workflow and business processes of most companies; they shape the experiences and expectations of customers. Many jobs still require a mastery of data science, IT, or software development. However, with the right training and the right digital tools, people can do many roles that previously might have required much deeper technical capabilities.

Solving the Talent Equation aims to help leaders who are struggling to fill digital skills gaps in their teams. It is informed by the experiences of hiring managers across many industries, not just Microsoft.
