Mobile and IOT devices can still be affected by a cyber-attack; existing security systems could be obsolete due to quantum computing. Businesses should be very eager to take the necessary steps in protecting themselves and their customer’s data against this newly faced challenge.

People expect more and more these days, and they are requesting better customer service experience. When people shop in brick-and-mortar stores, they aren’t there just to buy a product, they are looking for an experience when there. Online retailers are being pressured to add extended reality (XR) experiences, this would allow you to use something like a virtual dressing room, and you’d be able to try on clothing. No matter if your business is online or brick-and-mortar you should continually ask yourself, “How can I innovate the customers experience to better it.”

Accelerated Digital Transformation (ADT) is a tool used to move companies more digital, but it’s becoming even faster. Technologies like 5g, Block chain, the cloud, and IOT are building and speeding up the use and productivity of AI. The use of AI is already being heavily used in business and is going to continue to grow in the use of AI in business. In response to this all businesses should start thinking of themselves as a technology business, and should also consider re-designing their processes to be more up to date.

The business world should be read to deal with another talent shock, and it seems like it will keep getting bigger and bigger. Companies across a number of industries are facing a large gap in vital future skills, and companies will have to re-teach or better train a large section of their workforces and be prepared for a possible 4th industrial revolution. A lot of people re-evaluate their jobs and careers over the past couple years, which then lead to mass registrations. Employers are going to have to offer a working environment fit for the new world of business to attract top talents.

All in all these challenges are going to be seen and have already been seen during 2023. Take the necessary steps to make sure you’re ready for these challenges and more this year. Improve your business and take this as an opportunity to better your business.
