Details
As technology progresses and the business world becomes ever more reliant on digital processes and automation, it is important to ensure that our businesses, the people that lead them and that they employ are supported to explore and identify their digital strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities and to develop a digital transformation plan.
We believe it is important to address the needs of a business and its workforce in a joined up way and it is for this reason that we have combined two Investment Priorities (IP 2.1 and 2.2) for this call. We envisage there being two interconnected strands to this project as set out in further detail in the Call specification. Strand 1 Digital Transformation of the Business (Supporting IP2.2) and Strand 2 Digital Skills Training for Workforce (Supporting IP2.1)
