One of the biggest things in our minds is making sure we give our people the right talent and the right skill sets to help them be successful in the future. The current work environment requires flexibility, new skills and new ways of working. Technology continues to drive how and where people work, making upskilling more than a business differentiator – it’s a necessity. Upskilling our business, clients and communities means providing people with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to adapt to the digital future. At Exponential Factors, this goes beyond just driving business value. We’re giving our people opportunities to apply their skills beyond the workplace, helping build a more diverse, tech-skilled workforce, and creating ground-breaking digital solutions for our clients and our communities.
As technologies mature, the emerging technology terrain changes, moving from few market solutions and scattered use cases to industrialized products with proven use cases. Our reference frame is the
Exponential Technology Grid.It helps answer several critical questions:
- What is the level of maturity of the technology in question?
- Who else has adopted it, and how?
- What are the success stories? What was learned from failures?
- What could be the impact to our business?
- Can and should we adopt these technologies?
Answering these questions helps us assess the practicality of adopting & harnessing these emerging technologies for business’ our communities and upskilling our workforce.
