Let’s face it, competency and skills initiatives have too often failed to deliver on their promise. Relying on traditional approaches such as including behavioral competencies in your annual performance review or rolling out generic learning content is not going to get it done.
Some have recognized this and jumped straight to new approaches based solely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and learning experience with no validation of baseline skills or proficiencies to serve as an anchor. Modern platforms must contain high-fidelity skills data for a skills initiative to deliver business impact and make the most of the learning journey.
