Post-Covid Summary
mix of critical success factors and skills to excel both individually and collectively on
an organisational and community level. Here is a brief overview of what these factors
and skills may look like.
Digital Literacy: The basic take-off skills that range from computer literacy to an
ability to quickly gain proficiency in the use of different digital tools and technologies.
Adaptability: The world is changing so fast in terms of technology that people are
having to pivot even faster today. Those who can embrace change will win.
Remote Work and Collaboration: The permanent adoption of remote work in the post-
pandemic world calls for a restructuring of employee roles that goes beyond
proficiency in video conferencing tools and a focus on leading teams from afar.
Cybersecurity Awareness: With everyone from customers to enterprises to non-profit
institutions shifting their digital lives online, cybersecurity threats have risen.
Data Literacy: The late capitalist era is characterised by the vastness of available
data. What sets the good decision-makers apart from the rest is their capacity to
gather, evaluate, and use evidence.
AI and Automation Proficiency: Five years ago, the first AI and machine learning
repositories arrived online; today, AI and machine learning are in almost every
industry.
Sustainability Awareness: New technologies have potential for Good — and they
also have the potential for villainy.
Resilience: In a world without any rules and where everything controlling a person’s
life is arbitrary, what separates winners from losers is their ability to be resilient in all
environments.
Legal and Ethical Understanding: For all the technology that has changed our lives,
very few new rules of conduct have emerged.
Continuous Learning: The threat to institutions that want to take your job is that
people can be educated in less than a year.
Remote Work Competence: Pandemic made all of us realise that remote work is not
just a temporary solution but a long-term aspect of digital landscape. People need to
be efficient at remote collaborations which will in turn keep their productivity at
check.
