After attending this presentation, delegates will return to their roles with a clear roadmap for embedding future-ready skills into their organizations. They will be empowered to assess and refine how their organization currently defines, measures, and applies skills, aligning with SHL’s research-backed definition of future skills. Equipped with insights into essential ""power skills"" and their relevance across various industries, delegates can identify key competencies that will drive competitive advantage and operational effectiveness.
Furthermore, the presentation provides a foundation for evaluating where their organization stands in terms of becoming a skills-based entity. Delegates will be encouraged to reflect on challenges presented, identifying those relevant to their context—such as measuring skills, engaging employees in upskilling, or addressing skill gaps. They’ll gain practical approaches to using key metrics and analytics to inform their talent strategies, ensuring these efforts are evidence-driven and targeted for maximum impact.
Delegates will also walk away with actionable guidance on how to integrate these skills-based strategies across the talent lifecycle, whether by incorporating skills assessments into recruitment, aligning workforce planning with future skill needs, or shaping reskilling initiatives. Finally, they’ll leave with a sense of where to begin—whether implementing small steps, like conducting a skills audit, or developing a long-term roadmap to a fully skills-based approach. This enables them to return to their organizations not only with a strategic vision but also with practical, adaptable steps for immediate action.
