The Impact Report

Hi there,

In the VUCA world of work, building business capability has become less about hiring and more about turning inward to better utilise and grow the skills of existing workforces. L&D is taking centre stage, and the organisations set to succeed are those which can build a culture of continuous learning and tap into an agile skills-based workforce.

So, as a business how do you motivate people to upskill and develop in the direction you need, and as an individual, how do you know which skills to develop to boost your own career? Finding these answers starts with skills mapping.
