Lack of expertise in Germany
In today's working world, it is virtually impossible to remain competitive without digitizing corporate processes. In order to successfully drive digitization in the company, it is necessary that all employees have the necessary basic digital skills.
However, only 56% of companies have employees with the necessary expertise to drive forward the digitization of corporate processes (Bitkom 2021). The consequence of this is that the pace of digitization is slowed down. In order to be able to compensate for the resulting competitive disadvantage, appropriate further training measures are necessary. To get the most out of digitization, the right skills must also be promoted.
What digital skills do you need to be able to do your job in the working world of the future?
The goal of digitization is not simply to shift processes from paper to computer. There is much more behind it. All processes in the company are to be made more efficient. To achieve this, decisions must be data-driven instead of gut-driven.
In addition, as many processes as possible should be automated in order to relieve employees and thus gain greater benefit from their labor. To ensure this, the following competencies must be promoted in the company:
- Basic knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence
- Implementing artificial intelligence in work processes,
- Basic understanding of data
- Foundations for making data-driven decisions
- Visualization and preparation of data
- The professional communication of data
How can digital competencies be promoted in the company?
Many companies have already recognized that it is essential to consolidate digital competencies through employee training. However, the implementation of internal training is a challenge for many companies. Therefore, many companies resort to external training offers.
The market for training providers who specialize in one or more of these areas is growing, but the quality of what they offer is increasingly suffering as a result. Often, not all required competencies are covered and learning suffers from the same weaknesses of linear frontal teaching that many still remember from school.
In particular, work with data and artificial intelligence are closely linked. In this context, value should be placed on a high practical component of training courses that allows employees to apply what they have learned directly to their work. For this reason, we have created the StackFuel Membership, a package of essential digital skills that we continuously adapt to technological developments. The membership thus forms the basis for establishing and successfully implementing data and AI strategies in the company.
This combination of skills is what companies need now:
Membership gives you unlimited access to the StackFuel learning library. With the proven basic trainings like Data or AI-Literacy and the latest Micro Lessons, you will learn all digital skills in no time to be prepared for digitalization and the changing world of work.

Upon completion of each membership training, you will receive a recognized certificate of completion that will enhance your resume and prove your skills. The trainings provide you with all that is necessary to implement data and AI based actions in your company.
