Technical skills
While technical skills depend largely on the industry or occupation you’re in, here are some skills in demand across the Informer cluster.
Data analysis
Gone are the days when data was just for analysts. Across organisations big and small, and across all industries, data is playing a significant role. Whatever your role, you’ll find data analysis useful for gaining useful insights and making more evidence-driven decisions.
Report writing
Writing good reports is both an art and a science. The best ones can inform, but also persuade and even entertain by shaping a narrative from dry facts. Chances are that if you’re a knowledge worker, you need to be able to produce reports to explain important information and distribute it to colleagues.
Policy development
Policies and procedures are an important part of many organisations and become particularly key in government roles. If you plan on taking a management or leadership role, you’ll be well-advised to brush up on this skill.
