Skills strategy is hard. Help us understand why.
Most organizations are trying to get this right. They're investing in learning, tracking competencies, and building development programs. And yet, something keeps getting in the way.
In 2026, we started digging into what that "something" actually is. Our hypothesis: it's not a lack of effort but a lack of alignment. When L&D and HR are working from different maps, even the best intentions don't translate into workforce readiness.
We want to understand the full picture.
We've partnered with BHG to study the full lifecycle of a skills strategy (how it's built, what data powers it, who's responsible for it, and where it tends to get stuck).
And we'd love your perspective.
This short survey asks about your organization's approach to skills today: how strategy gets set, how teams collaborate, and what the biggest barriers look like from where you sit.
Your responses will shape a research report publishing in Fall 2026 that L&D and HR leaders across the industry will use to inform their strategy. The more perspectives we gather, the more useful it becomes.
Take the survey
It takes about 10 minutes and responses are anonymous.
