Who should be responsible for digital upskilling?

The majority wants government or IT to be responsible for digitalisation.

Singaporeans revealed that either the government or the IT industry should take responsibility for the adoption of digitalisation in workplaces.

In a study by Reeracoen, 30% of Gen Xs and Baby Boomers said digitalisation is the responsibility of the government, which is closely followed by IT (29%), and either HR or everyone (17%). Whilst the remaining felt that it should be their own responsibility.

For Generation Y, IT (33%) should pave the way for digitalisation, followed by the government (21%) and everyone (21%). Whilst the rest felt that it should be HR’s responsibility followed by themselves.

Generation Zs said IT (39%) should be responsible, followed by government (26%), and everyone (14%). Whilst the rest felt that it should be their own responsibility followed by HR.

Most respondents believed their firms were prepared for digitalisation, with over 55% sharing this sentiment. Gen Z, often considered digital natives, exhibited the highest confidence at 63%.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.
The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.
If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
