A look at how and why organisations are changing the way they identify, manage and build the existing and emerging skills in their workforce.

How do you identify and grow existing and emerging skills within your business? Are your learners able to highlight skills they have that you’re not aware of? Can you spot skill trends?

Take a look as Josh Devanny, Chief Sales Officer at THRIVE reveals why traditional skill approaches need to adapt, and explores the new way modern businesses are taking their skills strategy to the next level, harnessing the power of their learners in building a truly agile skills strategy.

Josh was joined by Jenny Muhlwa, Head of Learning and Development at Sumo Digital as they dived into real world examples of how brands like Sumo, along with Sky, Ted Baker and more, are adopting this approach. Plus practical tips on:

  • Why managing skills needs to move beyond formal skills
  • Ways to identify and track emerging skills
  • How to harness learning activity to save you time building lengthy skills frameworks which will never be up-to-date
  • How to get full visibility over skills and use that insight to drive business performance
