GROWTH

The move towards skills-based organisations has been talked about for years.

Jobs are changing faster than traditional workforce structures can keep up. Organisations are trying to understand which capabilities they already have, which they will need next, how quickly people can build them, and whether existing approaches to hiring, learning and career progression are still fit for purpose.

This panel brings together perspectives from enterprise transformation, learning, people strategy and skills technology to examine what becoming genuinely skills-led looks like in practice.

How do you create visibility of skills across a large organisation? When does learning become organisational infrastructure rather than an employee benefit? Can skills-based models create more mobility and opportunity, or do they risk reproducing the same hierarchies under different terminology? And as AI reshapes roles and capabilities, how should organisations decide what to hire, what to build and what to redesign altogether?

A conversation about moving beyond the skills taxonomy towards the much harder challenge: building an organisation capable of continuously learning, redeploying and reinventing itself.
