At Draup, we believe the biggest talent pool you have to manage digital skills demand is your existing workforce. We have a very interesting case study around this. When we analysed the paths, our models showed that many successful UI designers had psychological background.
Major software enterprises have turned towards their existing workforce to manage digital skills demand. They have found and manifested better results in reskilling initiatives over hiring a new workforce. Another corresponding trend seen among these corporations in tackling the talent requirements is, nurturing multi-disciplinary talent pools.
