4IR Capability Building

The Fourth Industrial Revolution makes it imperative for companies to upskill and reskill their workforce. Capability building – teaching the skills to undertake new tasks – can’t be accomplished in a one-off training initiative, however. It touches on every aspect of working, including how to lead through transformation, uncertainty and change. This McKinsey report outlines four best practices companies can employ to initiate and sustain successful capability building. The authors’ conclusions are useful for leaders working on a comprehensive learning strategy in the midst of a digital transformation.
