Managers need digital management skills to invest in and apply digital technologies that will raise firms’ productivity and create successful new products and services. People who specialise in developing, operating and maintaining ICT systems need a different set of practitioner skills. ICT users need other skills to apply digital technologies in the workplace and the community, ranging from basic digital literacy through to more advanced applications in specific industries.

In addition to digital skills, it is important that everyone feels confident and safe in a digital environment.
