Most Skills Data is Useless. Here’s Why... #HR teams collect endless skills data: ?? Performance reviews ?? Self-assessments ?? Training completion rates But none of this tells you: ? Whether skills are actually improving. ? How they compare against industry benchmarks. ? Which skills correlate to performance and revenue. The real question is: Is your skills data actually actionable? The best companies don’t just collect skills data. They structure it, benchmark it, and use it to drive performance. Are you tracking real skills… or just reporting on vanity metrics? #SkillsData #HR #WorkforceAnalytics #Leadership

?? Hot take: Most businesses have no real clue how good their teams actually are. We hire, onboard, and assume people will just figure it out. Then, we wonder why deals stall, projects get delayed, and customers quietly churn. The problem? We measure output, but not capability. ?? You wouldn’t drive a car without a dashboard. ?? You wouldn’t invest without financial reports. ?? But you’re running a business with ZERO structured data on your team’s skills? At Peer, we turn human skills into structured, AI-ready data—all while providing teams, team members and leadership with detailed feedback. (See the example Monthly Skills Assessment below ??) If you had to bet on your team’s skills, would you? #FutureOfWork #AI #Leadership #founderlogic

In Sales, humans can assess other humans far better than any AI can. (For now!) But it's hardly being done. Instead, "Conversational Intelligence AI" is used as a lazy excuse for lack of ongoing coaching, feedback and L&D. The problem is: ?Team is still missing quota ?Reps quite quitting ?New reps feel lost and rarely make it past probation ?No understanding of what "good looks like" Meanwhile, you can outsource skill audits with regular reviews/feedback to reps and a full monthly report with Peer. (See example report below ??) All done: ?Fully remote and captured using our Chrome extension ?Affordably with clear tracking of ROI ?With no additional platform to manage in an already bloated Sales Tech stack! PLUS! With our PeerLibrary innovation (now raising pre-seed ??) we store your skills data in a multi-modal, multi-layered format ready to train whatever next-gen, in-house AI you decide to develop. True "future-proofing"! Talk to me ?? https://lnkd.in/eAYfTtuM #sales #salescoaching #learninganddevelopment #careerdevelopment #salesperformance

Peer is so fortunate to have an incredible Advisory Board! We've been having 1:1s with our Board Advisors this month and we want to share some BTS insights from those sessions. Mathieu Bayou, Co-Founder & CEO of ai_licia and our AI/ML Advisor shared his thoughts on what excited him about Peer and some of the concerns for our future. ?? #ai #futureofwork #advisoryboard

I always forget to take photos!! ?? Last night some of the founding Peer crew got together in Brighton for a great meal, some wine and even managed to squeeze in a bit of shop talk too! John Edmonds and I updated Tash Rebuck and Tomasz Odrobinski on the week three of investor discussions for our pre-seed. We also discussed some of the strategic partnerships under negotiation and some tech updates. Tash told us how she is getting on with the awesome "Show Us Your SaaS" campaign she is running. Then (as always) I was talking too much and forgot to get photos. So I asked ChatGPT to help and this ?? is it's idea of what we look like ?? Considering we only began GtM in Jan and announced our ￡500 pre-seed 3 weeks ago, we are making some tremendous progress. The results of which we will hopefully be sharing soon. ??If you are an Angel (or always wanted to invest in AI Data Infra Tech) get in touch to take part in this round. ??OR... if you are a leader looking to gain a deeper understanding of your organization's skills, L&D opportunities and more, get in touch if you want to pilot a one-of-a-kind Peer skills audit. ?? Looking forward to the next social with the whole Peer crew (hopefully celebrating the closing of our first round) ?? #preseed #peer #skillsdata #hr #learninganddevelopment #futureofwork #ai

Soft Skills Are Business Critical—Start Measuring Them What’s harder to find in your company: ? A technical expert? ? A leader who inspires people to perform? Skills like communication, adaptability, and leadership drive real results. But if you’re not measuring them, you can’t improve them. Would you hire a CFO without tracking financials? Then why build teams without tracking soft skills?

?? The Best Leaders Don’t Guess. They Audit. Most leadership books focus on what leaders should do. But very few tell you how to measure if it's actually working. That’s why we created The Meritocratic Leadership Handbook—a practical guide to building a leadership culture where performance isn’t about titles, politics, or tenure… but measurable expertise. ?? Learn how to: ? Audit leadership effectiveness without bias ? Identify skills gaps in your team (before they become problems) ? Make data-driven decisions about hiring, promotions & development If you believe in a world where leadership is earned, not assumed, this handbook is for you. ??

The Problem with Annual Performance Reviews Waiting 12 months to give feedback is like waiting a year to check your bank balance. You wouldn’t do it—so why do it with people’s skills? Regular skills reviews: ? Keep employees engaged ? Make managers more effective ? Stop productivity from slipping unnoticed If you’re still doing annual reviews, it’s time to rethink your feedback strategy. How often does your team get real feedback?
