The Impact Report
Hi there,
Fifty years ago, factory workers spent 15 - 20 years in the same role, using the same skills. Today, skills have a much shorter lifespan – just five years on average, according to IBM.
With disruptive technologies like AI continually emerging, this timeframe is shrinking rapidly, placing organisations in a perpetual skills lag.
Addressing this lag requires a proactive and continuous approach, whereby employees are guided to grow in areas that align with both their natural strengths and organisational goals, ensuring motivation remains high and businesses are building the skills they genuinely need.
Want to discuss how technology can help you stay abreast of the skills lag? Get in touch with us today.
Earlier this month, Tom Larter took centre stage at the HR Leaders Forum | 5-6 May 2025 | ICC Sydney to unpack the changing world of work and the critical role of skills in ensuring organisations and employees can thrive.?
