Show Notes

Bring your skills strategy to life!

The skills conversation is everywhere. Everyone appears to want skills - people's proven ability to do the work - to be the foundation of their workforce strategies. It makes sense - on paper. But there are still plenty of questions left to be answered, including: 

  • What is a skill?
  • How do you measure skills?
  • How do you operationalize skill data to improve the employee experience and add value to the business?

Dani Johnson, Co-Founder and Principal at RedThread Research, stops by to set the record straight on skills. Dani and JD Dillon explore the potential for skill-based approaches to transform talent development.

JD also breaks down his biggest issue with the ongoing remote work debate.
