The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) is already reshaping industries across the GCC—through automation, AI, robotics, and data-driven decision-making. Yet, many teams lack the skills to adapt.
In a recent GCC workforce survey:
- 58% of organizations said their staff lacks digital skills
- 67% struggle with integrating new technologies into day-to-day operations
Upskilling isn’t about more training—it’s about the right training.
At Sharef & Co., we recommend a 4-step 4IR upskilling framework:
Digital Fluency Bootcamps
Covering AI, data literacy, automation tools, and smart systems
Problem-Solving Sprints
Using tech to solve real business problems in cross-functional teams
Leadership Readiness Tracks
For mid-managers to lead hybrid, tech-driven teams
AI-Powered Microlearning
On-demand, scenario-based learning delivered via apps or intranets
Example:
A logistics firm in Oman embedded our 4IR sprint program into their L&D plan. Within 8 weeks, warehouse managers deployed two automation solutions that cut manual processing by 43%.
The future won’t wait for your team to catch up—start now.
