Skills mapping: An impossible exercise or a vital planning tool for business continuity?

Planning for the workforce of the future is a constant challenge for every organisation, and contextual skills mapping is a vital cog in that process. Building a roadmap is fundamentally important in understanding the impact of skills and making plans to adapt your workforce in order to grow your business.
The tricky part is getting this right, however. For example, does everyone refer to the same “skill” in the same terms? And even when skills are mapped - what next? How does a business overlay these with vast amounts of business data to generate meaningful insights and strategy? The challenge is daunting, and fraught with difficulties, but with proper time and technology, the outcomes, cost savings, improved productivity and revenue mean this should be a priority for any forward thinking business.
Hosting this session, Ben Harris, VP EMEA at Visier and Techwolf will demonstrate how leading companies are benefiting from fine-tuned skills ontologies to adapt their workforce, upskill talent, reduce time-to-hire and ensure business continuity.
