Job titles have always played such a big role in our working lives. However, we’ve started to see a rise in something called the Skills-Based approach. A version of work that isn’t confined in the vessel of a ‘job’. Could this be the end of job titles as we know it? Perry Timms, HR thought leader, speaks on the Skills-Based approach: • What it means short and long term. • How the concept of the Skills-Based approach is being developed and delivered today. • If Skills-Based organisations will embody and strengthen agile principles.

For transformation to be successful, leaders are needed at all levels. However, often people are promoted to management based on their technical ability or tenure rather than their leadership capabilities. If someone is an ‘accidental manager’ they may lack the ability to drive change. We see leadership as a key competency which belongs throughout the organisation–-not just at the top of a pyramid. By equipping managers with the tools and mindset they need to become leaders, we contribute to theirs, and their teams success.
