Building a Skills-Based Organization
When job titles stop describing what people can actually do.
What you'll get: Titles tell you where people sit, not what they can do — and those are exactly the questions that matter as work changes faster. This ~120-minute Level 3 course separates skills-based from a traditional competency framework, shows why most projects die at the taxonomy stage and how to avoid that trap, gives four principles for a good-enough taxonomy, four sources of skills data and the most economical way to combine them, the four people decisions that move onto skills, a four-phase roadmap, and the four places these projects go wrong.
Who is this course for?
- HR directors and heads of talent development

After this course, you will
- Distinguish skills-based from competency frameworks and know when to do it
