Altimetrik launches Digital Business Academy to address digital talent needs 

Through this Academy, Altimetrik aims to enable enterprises to create culture and talent capability to effectively adopt the Digital Business Methodology for scale, consistency, and speed

Altimetrik, a pure-play digital business company, announces the launch of the Digital Business Academy (DBA), a comprehensive program designed to enable enterprises to successfully mature as Digital Businesses with the help of the Digital Business Methodology. The Academy, tailored for all organizational levels, including the CXO leadership suite to engineering professionals, offers crucial talent enablement, guaranteeing efficient digital adoption across all business functions.  

The company also intends to extend the DBA framework to students, equipping them with the necessary skills for digital business methodologies and develop digital talent right from the start. This involves diverse approaches, offering students real-time scenarios, data sets, and immersive environments to comprehend and transition into DBMs. Furthermore, Altimetrik plans to establish academic credits related to this domain and a comprehensive curriculum supported by coaches who will guide and mentor the students throughout the learning process.

At the core of this program is a unified solution focused on the Single Source of Truth (SSOT), the central enterprise data repository, providing a singular and comprehensive view of a business and its customers by leveraging AI and ML technologies. This offering aims to create digital practitioners at scale, commencing with learning, adoption, and internalization at the enterprise level. This initiative introduces a three-pronged approach: Assessing the Benchmark, Digital Talent Enablement, and Internalize & Evolve, facilitating a seamless transition into the digital era.  

Organizations globally are facing significant challenges in bridging the digital skills divide. ManpowerGroup’s 2023 Talent Shortage Survey reveals that an unprecedented 77% of employers encountered difficulties in recruiting for positions, marking a 17-year peak. The most sought-after skills are in the fields of IT and data. 

Altimetrik’s Digital Business Academy addresses industry challenges by bridging talent gaps, facilitating seamless digital adoption, leveraging cutting-edge technology, increasing agility, empowering data-driven decision-making, fostering innovation, encouraging interdisciplinarity, improving customer experiences, and optimizing ROI. DBA provides professionals with indispensable skills and expertise to help businesses navigate the complexities of digital landscapes, fostering innovation, efficiency, and sustainable growth.

The DBA stands as a solution to this challenge, offering companies the opportunity to embark on transformative learning journeys tailored to various roles and business scenarios. Through this Academy, we aim to set a new standard for talent enablement in the digital age. Altimetrik has nurtured over 5,000 practitioners worldwide.
