Digitalisation, the widespread use and diffusion of digital technologies, has revolutionised the workplace and society in recent years. The spread of digitalisation has had a significant impact on the labour market and the business environment, creating new challenges for employers and employees alike. Adult learning plays a key role in helping workers to adapt and succeed in the new digital environment. Corporate digitalisation, i.e. the widespread use and integration of digital technologies into business processes, is now a key factor for competitiveness and sustainable development. Digitalisation creates new opportunities for companies to increase efficiency, foster innovation and improve customer experience. In this paper, we review how adult learning contributes to digitalisation, to corporate digitalisation and how it helps employees to cope with new challenges and acquire new digital skills. We will summarise the steps companies can take to effectively exploit the opportunities offered by digital technologies.Author Biographies
