    An IBM Institute for Business Value study, released in September 2019, showed that in 2016 executives ranked technical core capabilities for STEM and basic computer and software/application skills as the top two most critical skills for employees.

    But by 2018, the top two skills sought were behavioural skills – a willingness to be flexible, agile, and adaptable to change; and time management skills and the ability to prioritise (see https://newsroom.ibm.com).

    And amid the 2020 pandemic it really is the leaders and employees who can demonstrate this flexibility, agility and adaptability that are leading the pivot many organisations are now having to face.

    Similarly, time management and the ability to prioritise are also a key skillset as the global fallout from the ongoing pandemic sees almost daily challenges in both geopolitical and economic terms.
