I am trying to understand what are the key skills on the ground that would be pivotal for moving our company to a digital first organization? Have you trialed anything in your organization? What are the skills and trainings you recommend that would be beneficial for the CDIO function at a high level to at least be prepared for the digital disruption in the next two years?
