Steps to Boost Your Tech Savvy

As we step into a new normal, there’s one aspect of our pandemic lives we won’t be leaving behind: technology. Digital platforms and tools are more important than ever to businesses and organizations. Employers are increasingly looking for — and promoting — people who understand the full potential of technology to accelerate workplace success.

 

How tech savvy are you, and how can you build on that skill set? Here are some steps to get you started.

 

Assess where you are. After more than a year of relying heavily on technology, we’re all more digitally literate than we used to be. But is it enough? If you look beyond your strengths, you can identify opportunities for growth. Are you great with spreadsheets and Google Workspace but awkward with social media? Are you a whiz at search engine optimization, but find yourself lost on Microsoft Teams? Maybe you feel tech confident, but know it would help if you could add a specific skill like coding.

Why is it important to keep in step with technology?

Technology is the key to opportunity and impact in the modern age. It’s the interdisciplinary, universal currency used to push the boundaries of all fields and create prosperity within modern society. Technology leverages the power of modern computation to enable us to perform work well beyond the capabilities of an individual. Importantly, technology advances regardless of how well we keep up with it; we must keep in step with technology lest it, and its myriad opportunities and benefits, leave us behind.
