Digital transformation is challenging how business leaders need to think about the future of work, the design of organizational structures, and the new skills and competencies required to win in the digital future.

How might teams be formed and collaborate to unleash new skills to innovate product, service, and support offerings? Digital transformation alters the profile of human talent across all functions. C-Suite and line-of-business leaders need to be intentional in reskilling their teams and attract people who can work at the intersection of smart humans and powerful machines.
