Data Literacy
Upskill Program

With new technologies developing at lightning speed and a challenging job market, finding and retaining the right people is a daunting task.

However, there’s a shortage in skills rather than a shortage in people. That’s why 50% of all employees will have to upskill within the coming five years, World Economic Forum already warned us.

Upskilling your employees is the best solution to bridge that skills gap. We know that upskilling will lift your employees’ spirit and give them a sense of belonging, knowing their employer invests in them.

Similarly, talented people are attracted to organizations willing to invest in their personal development. Ultimately, upskilling is between 72% and 90% cheaper than hiring new talent.

If the technology is available to everyone, why is there a gap between successful companies and the rest?

People! It all comes down to skilled professionals with a pragmatic attitude toward business challenges. Paired with a tech-savvy business counterparty and leaders who enable them – by being aware of what’s needed to succeed in data transformation – and you’ve got a winning formula. How to get there?

Our approach is rooted in our experience in the FMCG sector, working with the leading data-driven enterprises across Europe, and our training track record as a global analytics partner for ING, DuPont, Danone, DSM, Ahold Delhaize, and more. From setting up a data academy to skills assessments and teaching the capabilities needed to succeed to the guidelines for a data community, we’ve got you covered.

We are fully committed to facilitating your data and digital ambitions. With our experience within Xebia Data, we know what it takes to follow through on our promises.
