SkillsFuture For Digital Workplace

Today's digital technologies are progressing at a blinding speed never before experienced.

 

The Internet, social media, and online transactions have increased exponentially in the last 10 years, and the pace of change continues unabated. Just like brick-and-mortar stores are gradually losing out to online shopping, physical military combat will be also be giving way to cyber warfare and robo-soldiers in the next decade. Anyone who is not retired needs to embrace the future digital economy, if not as experts, then at least as smart users of the various digital technologies.

 

In the workplace, how can we better shield ourselves from digital crimes without significantly hindering our productivity? Individually, how can smart device users harness technology and manage data to more effectively improve how they work and live?
