Innovation also depends on the ability of the organizations to access, recognize and absorb knowledge from various sources, which is the absorptive capacity of the company. The concept of open innovation and the concept of "connect and develop" (C&D) sets the knowledge access and absorption activities at the core of the innovation development process. • Growth culture : A growth organizational culture consists of employees that build their mindset and capacity to see through blind spots and acknowledge problems and potential solutions. Basic pillars of digitalisation Promote Digital Literacy and Tech Skills Digital Literacy is an essential life skill which should be taught in all areas of education, but teaching tech skills can be complicated in traditional online training environments. Thus, the initial aim of digitalisation is to spread awareness regarding the importance and impact that digital knowledge and skills have on the society and economy, and then to help educators to become competent in using technical equipment as well as becoming technologically literate in order to educate the learners (i.e., VET learners). Adopt and integrate emergent technologies The technology we rely on today changes over time. To develop existing systems and improve the services provided, the incorporation of emerging technologies that align with positive learners’ experiences is vital. To do so, the systems and processes used need to evolve to keep up with the VET sector’s standards. By investing in technology and design consulting, your skills can be used to build more effective and efficient processes and more advanced learning experiences.
