About this episode

This episode discusses the advantages of skills-based organizations and how they leverage AI to enhance workforce agility and employee engagement.

A skills-based organization (SBO) uses a dynamic system, that includes AI, to continuously map and update people’s skill and role requirements.. SBO’s outperform companies that remain focused on job titles because they can achieve better workforce agility, quicker role staffing, faster redeployment in reorganizations or crises, and more fluid internal ability. This is because AI surfaces transferrable skills and inferred skills (from a person’s background, behaviors, and experiences). These skills-based systems actually increase the chances for employees to take on new roles or promotion opportunities because of decreasing needs for external hiring. So, SBO employees tend to be more enriched, engaged, and loyal (IF THEY’RE WILLING AND EQUIPPED FOR RAPID ADAPTATION AND CHANGE IN LEARNING AND APPLYING TRANSFERRABLE AND NEW SKILLS)
