In North America, the length of skills-related digital delays varies, with 57% saying it has pushed them one to five months behind schedule, 32% saying it has delayed transformation initiatives by five to 10 months, and 11% saying they have been delayed 10 to 15 months due to insufficient skilling.

According to IDC, businesses are most likely to be looking for tech workers with skills in AI (94%), cybersecurity (89%), IT operations (84%), ITSM (75%), and gen AI (73%).

IDC recommends IT leaders to leverage generative AI to create personalized and improved training courses and upskilling programs for employees. By creating robust learning environments, giving employees the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with new skills, and rewarding learners for upskilling by offering tangible benefits such as cash bonuses, time off, and other incentives, IT leaders can help shore up existing skills gaps.
