To properly prioritize sought-after competencies and prepare your workforce for the coming challenges and opportunities, a data-driven approach is needed.  

According to the third annual Coursera’s Job Skills Report, which stands as a valuable reference for developing innovative skill strategies, there are 8 key fastest-growing skills for 2024: 

• Leading Teams with Empathy  
• AI-Related Skills for Increased Productivity  
• Cybersecurity and Information Security  
• Business Skills & Digital Marketing as Core 
• Data Visualization for Faster Decision-Making  
• Cloud Computing  
• Audit and Compliance Skills  
• Customer Retention 

Top Job Skills Driving Innovation in 2024: Overview 

Here’s a quick summary of the fastest-growing job skills in business, technology, AI, data science, and cybersecurity for 2024: 

Fastest-Growing AI Skills  

Estimates at Bloomberg Intelligence show the market for AI solutions is set to grow to $1.3 trillion over the next decade, while job listing site Upwork reported a 1000% increase in the number of generative AI job posts made in the first half of 2023.  

Not surprised? So are we. Explore below the fastest-growing AI skills enabling learners to build ML models, facilitate automation, and more.  

Cloud Computing  

Gartner expects the global cloud computing market to have skyrocketed from $490.3 billion in 2022 to $591.8 billion in 2023.  

It presents an exciting opportunity for businesses and job seekers, with cloud computing jobs being some of the most in-demand roles in the tech industry.  

Cybersecurity  

With the critical need to protect against growing numbers of cyberattacks worldwide and the increasing capabilities of AI creating new security considerations, investment in cybersecurity skills will benefit employees and institutions alike in the year ahead.  

There’s an estimated shortfall of more than 3.4 million cybersecurity workers. That figure is likely to climb, with employment of information security analysts expected to grow 32% from 2022 to 2032 in the United States alone. 

Audit and Compliance Challenged by AI Regulations 

Only 37% of HR leaders, in-house counsel, and executives guide employees in using AI tools.   

Meanwhile, data privacy and security rank as the top concerns of Chief Intelligence Officers regarding AI.  

With generative AI transforming productivity, it will be crucial to develop the capability of employees to review and evaluate an organization’s compliance.  

Customer Success 

Customer success and relationship management skills are among the top ten fastest-growing business skills.   

According to McKinsey, unlocking new revenues from existing customers accounts for 80% of value creation in leading growth companies.  

So, there is a burning need for businesses to navigate customer retention and expand the value delivered to both current and potential customers. 

Leadership   

“Manager effectiveness” is ranked as the top priority for HR leaders—and employees are facing change fatigue, with willingness to support organizational change collapsing from 74% in 2016 to 43% in 2022.  

To effect change, the leaders of tomorrow will need to be agile, compassionate, and able to keep individuals and businesses aligned.  

Data-Literacy as a Baseline Expectation for Employers  

Today, only 11% of employees are confident in their ability to read, analyze, work with, and communicate with data—showcasing the vast need for upskilling and learning.  

Institutional leaders recognize the need to respond, with 85% of C-suite executives believing that being data-literate will be as vital in the future as the ability to use a computer is today.  

So, data visualization with the help of business intelligence software also joined the top of the fastest-growing skills.  

Digital Marketing   

The rapid growth of the global advertising and marketing industry, which is expected to rise to $1.5 trillion in 2030, illustrates the spurred demand for digital marketing skills. In the US alone, employment in digital marketing-related professions is projected to grow rapidly up to 2032.  

Meanwhile, shifting consumer behaviors—powering trends like increased social selling—with 76% of people making buying decisions on social media—call for upgraded skills from digital marketers.  

To adapt to a new paradigm, organizations should invest now in equipping learners with the skill sets to deliver modern marketing strategies.

Strategic Alignment:  

• Which job skills are most critical for achieving your business goals and strategic initiatives?  
• How do these skills differ across departments and levels within the organization?

Talent Acquisition & Retention:  

• How can we attract and retain top talent who possess these critical skills?  
• What are our competitors doing regarding these skills, and how can we compete effectively?  
• How can we develop and upskill our workforce to meet these changing demands?  

Future-Proofing the Organization:

• What kind of culture and learning environment do we need to foster continuous skill development?

Two weeks ago, Irina Dubovik, Intetics Digital Marketing Director, and Alexey Velesnitsky, CTO, presented the scientific publication “How Predictive Software Engineering Creates Effective Business Solutions Through Custom Software Development” at the WorldS4 Conference.

The 6th World Conference on Smart Trends in Systems, Security, and Sustainability provided the participants with opportunities to discuss and explore areas related to the Theory, Development, Applications, Experiences, and Evaluation of Interaction Sciences with academic and business community.

The conference serves to:

• Propose innovative technologies, share experiences, and discuss future solutions for design infrastructure.
• Provide a common platform for pioneering academic researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their views and achievements.
• Enrich technocrats and academicians by presenting their innovative and constructive ideas.
• Focus on innovative issues at the international level by bringing together experts from different countries.

The video recordings of the performances are already available on the event’s official YouTube channel.

And now, let’s look at the highlights of the paper presented to the scientific community by the Intetics team.

The PSE (Predictive Software Engineering) paper’s authors are Boris Kontsevoi, Ceo and President, and Sergey Kizyan, Delivery Director, Sandbox.  

The paper covers the seven principles that ensure projects’ transparency, controllability, and predictability for the client. You can find a ready-made strategy to transform your custom software products into successful, high-quality business solutions.

Irina and Alexey presented the framework’s background and broke down the meaning of each of its seven principles. They touched upon the possible risks that PSE helps to cover and announced our plans for the framework development. Alexey also clarified some crucial aspects of the PSE. Besides, he held the Q&A session after the main presentation.

An Editorial Manager is responsible for managing a company’s writing and editing strategy. They ensure that the department creates high-quality content that increases the organization’s market share, grows customer lists, generates quality leads, and extends their brand’s influence.

It’s quite a weighty responsibility, and the lists of tasks are endless. Here are just some of the duties that an Editorial Manager has:

• Generating story ideas
• Overseeing spending
• Commissioning stories and accompanying art
• Planning and assigning content
• Editing (and sometimes writing) content
• Overseeing editorial calendars and production schedules
• Supervising the editorial staff and freelance writers

It’s practically too much work for one person to do in a day. And, as an organization grows and requires more content creation, they would need to hire a squadron of editorial managers to oversee everything. That’s certainly not an ideal solution, as an editorial manager’s average salary in the US is $81,000.

Costs aside, if you have a full team of editorial managers over one department, things can start to get messy. Mixed up schedules and calendars, missed deadlines, confusion over who supervises who, duplicate content, and so on.

An alternate solution is to use an editorial management tool; it doesn’t do the work of a manager, per se, but it automates some of their processes, making their hectic workload much more manageable. Furthermore, it enables better department- and organization-wide communication, cutting down on related publishing issues. One such tool is Desk-Net, one of the world’s strongest editorial management platforms. In this use case, we’ll look at how Intetics built this solution, as well as how it has transformed newsrooms and editorial departments worldwide.

Case Study: Desk-Net

Desk-Net was founded in 2011; its founder, Matthias Kretschmer, aimed to help companies of all sizes adjust to the ever-growing complexity of the publishing industry. Desk-Net is focused on the needs of complex content teams, including large-scale editorial departments and fast-paced newsrooms. It gives editorial departments the ability to manage stories, arrange appointments, coordinate staff, and complete other workflow management tasks.

The Objective

Intetics was tasked with developing a secure, browser-based web application that lets users plan daily work. Furthermore, Intetics needed to deliver continuous system enhancement, as well as production server support and maintenance.

The Client desired a Software-as-a-Service solution, but they only had expertise in the domain, not in development. Therefore, the Client turned to Intetics to create this complex software. As such, Intetics assembled an Offshore Dedicated Team® (ODT ®).

The Solution

Intetics’ ODT® was composed of 21 members, including a Project Manager, System Analyst, Team Leads, JavaScript Developer, Java Developers, and Designers. Technologies used included GWT, Spring, Java Enterprise Edition, Hibernate, XSLT, Xdoclet, MySQL, OracleXE, Amazon EC2, Tomcat 5, Amazon S3, Ant, CruiseControl, Checkstyle, AWS, Cobertura, JavaScript, Angular, PHP, and WordPress.

The team worked together to automate major processes like staff coordination, storyboard management, and appointment planning. Main functionalities included:

• Quick, easy entry of appointments
• Express and detailed entry options
• Importing appointments from internal or external databases
• Single entry of appointments into Desk-Net
• Availability of special templates
• Assignments of staff to appointments
• Story management features like series planning, personal story repository, idea-list, and story search

Furthermore, Intetics has cooperated with the Client for 10 years, providing continuous support for this powerful tool.

The Bottom Line

 “Intetics provided a long-term team that is similar to having your own team –without the hassle of having to manage it.”

CEO and Founder

After the release of the system, it achieved 200+ clients with a monthly active userbase of 20k+. The solution’s initial launch gave the Client the opportunity to start and manage a SaaS business successfully. This propriety software was a launching point for the Client, allowing them to create a strong global foundation (starting in Germany and expanding outwards).

Now, the Client is world-renowned for their powerful editorial planning software, and users have access to task automation that takes a little bit of hecticness out of the newsroom.

Businesses are gradually overcoming the pandemic, and more and more events are returning to the offline format. The impressive number of stands presented at the exhibition clearly showed that the organizers employed all necessary measures against COVID-19, and the conference complied with international safety requirements. That means one thing: offline events are finally back!

CES returned ‘home’ to Las Vegas, welcoming well over 40,000+ attendees in person, including 1,800 global media professionals, across 11 indoor and outdoor venues.

The show was truly a global event, with 30% of attendees traveling from outside the US – representing 119 countries.

Boris Kontsevoi, President and CEO, and Irina Dubovik, Digital Marketing Director, represented Intetics at the event and shared their insights.

The location and the venue – a unique ecosystem connecting business, technology, digital art, and entertainment.

Las Vegas, and the CES conference, are definitely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime.

CES® is the most influential tech event globally — the proving ground for breakthrough technologies and global innovators. It’s where the world’s biggest brands do business and meet new partners, and the sharpest innovators hit the stage. 

Las Vegas is a major internationally renowned resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife. The Las Vegas Valley serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada.

The city bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World and is famous for its mega casino-hotels and associated activities. It is a top three destination in the United States for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Today, Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world’s most visited tourist destinations.

Las Vegas was built in a very particular way so that it’s often referred to as a free-standing art object in itself. It represents a real ecosystem with enormous buildings; each hotel or business center has its own infrastructure with various events, art objects, and activities.

Some of the buildings are styled as miniature versions of different countries: France, Italy, Egypt, etc. 

The Venue

One of the CES’s venues (The Venetian Tower), inspired by the magical atmosphere of the famous Italian region, also belongs to the group of sites with unconventional settings. Exposition stands could be found on each of the mall’s floors; the shopping center even had artificial channels with Venetian gondolas cruising along them. 

Teslas in Tunnels

Due to the huge distance, the transfer between pavilions was organized in a novel way – all participants got to enjoy the Tesla loop. Loop is an all-electric, zero-emissions, high-speed underground public transportation system in which passengers are transported to their destination with no intermediate stops. Also known as “Teslas in Tunnels!”

Boris Kontsevoi, Intetics’ CEO and President

Las Vegas and the CES conference; this is where you can follow digital technologies and watch them integrate with business, art, and entertainment true experience businesses. And most importantly, it’s possible to find the latest trends all in one place.

Here, buildings are more than just buildings: they offer a wide range of facilities, including evergreen botanical gardens, business centers, mesmerizing art spaces, etc. But what impressed me the most was the sheer number of participants providing incredible digital expositions. 

Bellagio stole my heart. It’s a legendary hotel and casino, which happened to be the filming location of Ocean’s Eleven.

And the Lion Habitat Ranch, where Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cares about 40 rare lions and 1 giraffe, painting pictures.
