Announcing the Essential Skills Playbook

This booklet is intended to tell readers "where and how can you discern the critical skills your workers need to succeed in an age of digital transformation." The link provided currently results in a 404, so I can't verify that one way or another. But what caught my eye were some very odd "findings" listed in the blog post. For example, in finance, "several skills are essential to finance, cropping up in multiple functions—SQL, Python language, big data, and business analytics." These are the essential skills in finance? Or for professional services: "data-related skills including data-based decision making, blockchain, and machine learning are must-haves in professional services." It's hard to believe these lists are the result of any actual analysis, much less any consultation with the real world.
