PwC’s Virtual Digital Academy

Drive automation & analytics through a digitally transformed workforce

We’re on the edge of a new world of work -- one brimming with possibilities from automation, data analysis, artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. But technology is only as good as the leaders who identify its opportunities, and the people who work with it every day. That’s where companies can come up short: their people may lack new skills and those skills can be hard to hire for.

46% of global CEOs say their first priority to remedy the issue is upskilling their existing workforces - but many leaders are finding that their efforts aren’t paying off -- they’re not getting the return on investment (ROI) they want or the change they need.

How PwC can help your business accelerate its automation journey

Digital Academies accelerate citizen-led data automation and analytics

“Citizen-Led Data Automation and Analytics” is a rapidly expanding trend that starts when an organization implements self-service tools and training that empower every data worker, regardless of their technical acumen, to solve complex business problems. Citizen-led problem solving is driven by the business end user, working to enhance his or her individual processes that can be easily scaled over time. This process can generate targeted ‘quick-wins’ efficiently with the potential to transform the business, bringing to scale the automation & analytics discussion for larger enterprise-wide buy-in.
