Leading with Skills

In a world where change is the only constant, one skill stands above all: the ability to learn.
Yet, a 2022 LinkedIn report found that only 27% of learning and development professionals say they have the resources they need to build employee skills for the future.
Three months ago, we launched The Skills Advantage to address this critical gap. Since then, the response has been nothing short of remarkable. It's a pioneering work, the first to focus exclusively on reskilling. Grounded in rigorous research and illustrated with case studies, The Skills Advantage offers a roadmap to build a human-centred, sustainable, scalable approach to reskilling.
Your comments and feedback aren't just nice to hear. They help spread the word and elevate the discussion on these critical topics in offices, schools, and homes everywhere.
As we go on, I'm eager to keep learning with you. Together, we're not just reading about skills - we're shaping how people will work and grow.
Thank you for all your support, testimonials, and introductions to some great events and interviews. Keep them coming; we have a lot to work on.?

What skills do employees need to work effectively with AI? What does being highly proficient in AI entail? How can organizations support their teams in leveraging AI benefits while navigating the challenges? Read the full article here.
