Hi everyone!
We just released a new asset: Skills + Learning: The playbook to workforce readiness.
We wrote this because the skills and tech landscapes are moving VERY fast. We keep getting questions about skills, about what it means to be a ‘skills-based organization,’ and about how to keep up with all this change. If you’ve recently wondered about any of those questions, this report is for you.
Here are some takeaways that raised my eyebrows and have already sparked some great conversations:
- Dolla dolla bills: Before writing this report, I knew workforce readiness gaps cost businesses money. But I never, ever expected them to have cost the global economy 18 TRILLION in unrealized GDP. This is a really, really serious issue.
- The retention win: Organizations that pivot to a skills-based model boost their retention rate by 98%.
- Skills > Job Titles: The report breaks down why "jobs" are becoming an outdated way to measure capability. No spoilers, but there’s a really interesting example in there I think will resonate.
