For decades, organizations have been trapped in a relentless cycle of enterprise skilling attempts that fail to deliver measurable impact. As the demand for skills-based organizations grows, the pressure to align skilling with real business outcomes has never been greater. Breaking this cycle requires a fresh, scalable approach grounded in a shared framework that connects skills, roles and work outputs across the entire organization.

During this talk, your speaker, Matt Donovan, chief learning and innovation officer, will explore an innovative enterprise skilling solution built on skill ontologies — which go beyond hierarchical relationships by mapping out the complex web of connections between skills, tasks, job roles and business outcomes.

Attendees will discover how to:

• Align skilling initiatives with organizational priorities by creating unified goals and skilling language across HR, L&D and business units.
• Illuminate current and future skill needs at every level — organization, manager and employee.
• Ground their skilling strategy in the actual work that gets done by moving away from static job descriptions.
• Ensure sustainability through validation, measurement, buy-in and pull-through across the entire enterprise.
