The future of work is here and it is rapidly changing the way organizations operate. More organizations are revamping their HR and talent processes with skills at the center.??
AI (artificial or augmented intelligence) and automation are accelerating the rate of change in jobs and roles, and skill-based approaches are emerging as a more agile, dynamic, and flexible model for work design.
The result is a move to becoming a more skills-based organization(SBO). Unlike the traditional organization which emphasizes job roles and hierarchy, an SBO prioritizes skills, projects and outcomes over job titles.?
The goal is an innovative work environment that is not limited by job descriptions and functional work silos.?
