Embracing Skill-First Learning: Driving Digital Transformation in the Public Sector

In recent years, Southeast Asia has witnessed a significant influx of digital technologies into the public sector. Technologies such as Gen AI, automation, and data analytics are disrupting nearly every industry, ushering in a newfound urgency for reskilling.

The success of this rapid digital transformation will depend on the public sector's ability to nurture adaptable and digitally skilled professionals: civil servants who can swiftly adopt, navigate and leverage evolving technologies, processes and tools within their agencies. According to a Gallup study, Asia Pacific organisations that rely on employees with advanced digital skills, such as software developers and cloud architects, report annual revenues that are 150% higher than those that employ employees with basic digital skills.

To address this pressing need, we recently conducted a webinar, in partnership with Govinsider, that convened a panel of tech leaders as well as learning and development leaders from the public sector who are at the forefront of digital upskilling to share insights on using a skills-first approach in adapting to the changing workforce landscape.

Some of the key takeaways include:

  • Emphasising the importance of embracing advanced technologies such as GenAI and ChatGPT to enhance decision-making and to stay relevant in today's evolving workforce
  • Recognising that emerging job roles increasingly demand digital skills and offer remote work opportunities
  • Prioritising skill-based learning to keep up with technological advancements is crucial for Public Sector to remain competitive in today's rapidly evolving landscape.
