But then, those movies usually fall into two categories: We leave the cinema feeling hopeful and upbeat, or down and pessimistic with catastrophic images in our mind. Luckily, we are still in the present, and we can shoot this film according to the choices we make.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>This movie has a breathtaking start. In a plot twist, a global pandemic has accelerated the digital future, forcing virtual ways of interacting, working and learning all over the planet. Technology researchers Gartner define\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/conferences\/na\/digital-workplace-us\/featured-topics\/digital-dexterity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital dexterity<\/a> as the ability to make the best out of technology for better business outcomes. A priority in this current environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>Adapting to this shift is complex. According to the report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/reports\/accelerating-digital-inclusion-in-the-new-normal\">Accelerating the Digital Inclusion in the New Normal<\/a>, digital literacy is still a barrier to adopt the required digital services that enable a remote lifestyle. In lower-income economies, only 32% of the population has basic digital skills (for example, sending emails). Even in higher-income economies, this number is just 62% and drops rapidly to 44% for standard skills (creating electronic presentations).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>We are witnessing staggering numbers of unemployment,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-53619910\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most notably in the US<\/a>.

Workers and businesses not ready to gain the necessary digital skills will face more difficulties in jumping to new opportunities. Those more digitally skilled will find it easier to thrive. Less developed economies will struggle and have higher rates of unemployment, as well as increased difficulties to remain competitive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>On the other hand, there is still room for an uplifting, inclusive and sustainable outcome. For me, there are three obvious areas:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>\u2022\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2019\/07\/ai-driven-companies-need-to-be-more-diverse-here-s-why\/\">Companies know that investing in cognitively diverse teams<\/a>\u00a0makes them more profitable. So digital organizations are looking for a variety of backgrounds, as well as more\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2019\/08\/neurodiversity-workplace-opportunity\/\">neurodiverse talent<\/a>. More than ever, different individuals can join the party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>\u2022 Virtual working facilitates participation in the digital economy of people regardless of where they live. Businesses can benefit from attracting talent in different locations, which promotes a diverse way of thinking, sparking new ideas. Those living in rural areas will not necessarily need to migrate to work or study.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>\u2022 In this virtual world, individuals could have better work-life balance, a broad access to learning platforms, and more opportunities to network and share their expertise than ever before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>Three actors will influence how the story pans out: corporations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and individuals, with governments as the crucial supporting cast. Their ability to manage this transition will dictate if the ending is hopeful or catastrophic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p><b>Corporations<\/b>\u00a0need to upskill their workforce. It is imperative to encourage a culture that champions the growth mindset, rewarding and celebrating upskilling, reinforced with a communications campaign. Organizations need to give their employees access to training, so they learn how to use digital tools effectively, and can read and interpret data. One piece of advice about how to succeed is to create personalized tracks for different roles. When people understand how their own job is evolving, and where their skill gap is, they are more open to making the best out of the available training.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p><b>SMEs<\/b>\u00a0have to adapt and embrace the transformation.

There has never been so much online guidance about how to boost our digital skills. For example, free training from platforms such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/learndigital.withgoogle.com\/digitalgarage\/courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Digital Garage<\/a>, or programs to encourage diversity for those who need it most, such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womeninbigdata.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Women in Big Data<\/a>, which offer at the same time mentoring opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\">\n<p>The ending to this story may yet be unwritten, but we are not a passive audience.
