Businesses are accelerating digital transformations, but 70% of those transformations fail.

The largest factor leading to the challenge of digital transformation is talent: 44% of organisations say expertise and skills gaps are the top barriers to success. With specialist talent and experience being so critical to delivery, companies should recognize the key digital finance transformation skills necessary for workers. Some of those include:

• Leadership across finance and IT: CFOs and CIOs who work in unison can bridge transformation knowledge gaps
• Communication: Good communicators educate boards and the wider company on the necessity for change
• Digital literacy: In-demand skills include data analytics, cloud computing, cyber security and automation
