PhD Title: Digital Transformation for the New-Energy Sector: Workforce readiness to acquire new skills.

Johann Visser’s research focuses on analyzing the factors driving workforce change-readiness to acquire new digital skills for Australian energy companies entering the New-Energy Sector. Digital innovations are increasingly pervasive across industries, including energy, necessitating effective utilization of digital technologies to achieve efficiencies throughout the value chain.

Johann aims to assess the current digital skills within an existing Energy Operator’s workforce and correlate these skills with their preparedness to acquire additional skills relevant to the New-Energy context. Examples of these emerging skills include AI/ML, Big Data, Internet of Things (IoT), and Digital Analytics.
