Skills@work 2025: Turning Strategy Into Skilled Action

From Chaos to Capability: Making Skills Strategy Real in 2025

Everyone’s talking about skills. But few are getting it right.

Endless taxonomies. Tech-first solutions. AI-generated skills data with no action plan. For most organizations, the shift to a skills-based model feels more like chaos than capability.

In 2025, strategy must meet execution. It’s not just about identifying skills, it’s about building the systems, mindsets, and behaviors that activate them across the employee lifecycle. Workforce transformation isn’t coming someday. It’s already here. The question is: are your people ready?

The Skills@Work Seminar is your tactical blueprint to move from skills theory to skilled performance.

We’ll explore how to:

  • Define what “skills” really mean for your business (and why clarity beats complexity)
  • Align skills with strategy across workforce planning, learning, performance, and mobility
  • Use AI wisely, augmenting human insight, not replacing it
  • Escape the endless loop of inventory and taxonomy building and make skills real in the flow of work

This seminar is for HR, Talent, and L&D leaders ready to stop circling the skills conversation and start driving change that sticks.

Join us to turn strategy into skilled execution.
