I've done a lot of research this year around the move to skills-based hiring and skills-based organizations. Having spoken to a large number of employers on this journey, it is very clear that success is predicated on looking at skills strategically, holistically, and in the context of both business and personal growth.
Ultimately, employers need to think fundamentally differently about talent and reflect this new thinking in talent acquisition, talent mobility, and talent development.
My guests this week have just published an excellent book encouraging CEOs to embrace this new mindset to build the adaptable, skilled workforce they need in a way that doesn't undermine personal growth and champions the employee experience.
The book is called "The Talent-Fueled Enterprise," and it was great to be able to speak to all three of its authors, Mike Ohata, Larry Durham, and Eric Dingler, who between them have 85 years combined experience in leading talent at Fortune 15 companies.
In the interview, we discuss:
The current most common talent challenges
The tension between people growth and business growth
Shifting from tech skills to Skills, Attributes and Experience
Skilling for human potential
Building teams for growth, adaptability, and empathy
Rethinking Talent Acquisition
Becoming a skills-based organization
The vital importance of talent mobility
Employee experience
The impact of AI
What will work look like in 5 years time?
