Operational Delivery Profession's skills framework requires updating for evolving digital and AI capabilities.
Recommendation
The ODP has created a professional skills framework, which sets out the sorts of skills that staff need at different stages of their careers.40 It feels that this framework will be critical to the success of its strategy.41 However, the capabilities and expertise that its members need are changing and will require skills associated with other professions, particularly digital– for example, the capability to provide services online or via apps, and through using artificial intelligence (AI).42
