The road to recovery post-COVID-19 is a pivotal time for us as a society. At an exponentially faster rate, companies and individuals must embrace digital business models and Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and transform their businesses to survive and thrive.

In the recent research report in The Future of Jobs Report 2020, the World Economic Forum has projected an increased talent to fill jobs in technology and green economy roles. These new jobs are forecast to be at the forefront of the data and AI economy, engineering, cloud computing, and product development. By 2025, the WEF calculates that 44% of the skills employees use to perform their roles will change.

A business’s success will hinge on their adoption of digital tools and future-forward interventions. Universities and professional education institutions offer professional education across the digital field for a workforce seeking to narrow the digital skills gap.

Course Spotlight: Blockchain for the Decision Makers

EIT Digital’s collaboration with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics has resulted in a course that presents learners with an opportunity to learn about and evaluate business processes based on blockchain concepts.

The course focuses on the changes in the business architecture and how businesses can harness blockchainification — the gradual introduction of the benefits of the blockchain principles into existing solutions.

Zeno Amtmann, IT Consultant at AAM Management Consulting, enrolled in Blockchain for The Decision Maker at EIT Digital. Opting for an EIT Digital professional education was an easy decision – it is a leading European institution in digital education.

The 20-year industry veteran added that the education partner and course organiser in this course, the prestigious Budapest University of Technology and Economics was the other determining factor in his decision.

“Blockchain seems to be a promising solution to several issues that we face today. However, its full potential is poorly understood,” Amtmann says.

“It seemed beneficial to spend time studying this field and expand my knowledge in this area as part of my continuous learning.“

The course supported his professional upskilling in the advantages and essentials of the blockchain paradigm: “It offered a great deal of new knowledge and a better understanding of this new phenomenon,” Amtmann concludes.
