Many organisations shifting to skills, take on technology and skills frameworks, but the real starting point should be identifying the business problem to solve.
Once identified the problem you need to build a business case to make sure that the skills strategy you are moving forward with is the right one for you.
In the second session of our Month of Skills, we discussed how to build a strong case to support your skills transformation strategy. We focused on measurable outcomes, financial impact, and practical steps to get started.
When organisations cannot clearly see what skills their employees have, they often take the wrong decisions.
They may hire externally for roles that could have been filled internally. This translates into unnecessary recruitment costs and missed opportunities to develop existing employees.
A lack of visibility into workforce skills also results in:
To achieve the best results, it’s essential to connect skills to goals. For example, if one employee demonstrates strong leadership skills, their development into a team lead role should be supported, rather than hiring externally. This will help with hiring costs reduction, internal mobility improvement, productivity increase, and more effective workforce planning.
One tip for a successful skills transformation is to start with a small growth plan.
Starting with targeted pilot initiatives or minimum viable approaches allow teams to demonstrate measurable value while refining processes, governance, and data models.
Once the results are proven, the initiative can then be expanded across the organisation with greater confidence and executive support.
When organisations understand both the skills they have and the skills they need, they can make more informed decisions across the entire talent lifecycle.
