Governments begin to understand the need for digital transformation

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

We now have enough data to support the conclusion that when an individual, a family, a business, a community, a country gets access to technology and becomes digital, huge benefits follow.

Around the world we have seen examples, at government level, of leaders who get the concept of digital transformation. There is Singapore and Estonia. Now India is aggressively doing the same with its DigiGaon Project – the goal is to digitize 700 villages.

What is your personal strategy to ensure you can seamlessly connect to the rapidly expanding digital economy as a digital citizen or business?
