For the last 20 years, organizations have been discussing the
need to think differently how their workforce shows up.
Historically, three topics have been discussed and setup (in
the organization and in their ERP/system ecosystem): 1.
Preparing the workforce for the future: with the impact of big
tech and of major technological shifts in the world, work and
how it is done has been reshaped radically. Organizations
have lagged in this aspect and have tried to catch up by
having Strategic Workforce Strategies that mostly focus on
the people side, but does not necessarily match it with the
business needs (new capabilities, new value propositions). 2.
With a fast renewal of the workforce (millennials, gen Z
coming to the workforce) that have different drivers and
expectations of what work means, organizations have
historically struggled to understand how to reshape their org
structure from a hierarchical top-down setup, to an flexible
setup. Going through strong reorgs removing layers of
management, shifting to matrixial structures, etc. the intent
has always been to move from fixed roles and job
descriptions to a more 'gig' setup, where the skills based work
is the driver. This has not been successful as it is increasingly
difficult to match the 'old' skills in orgs with the 'new' skills in
the market and 'intangible' skills are difficult to map within the
org and externally. 3. Personal development paths: the
biggest challenge in orgs has been to be able to match the
individual development goals, with the org's business needs.
Through a data-informed SWP framework, where all three
elements come together, Senior leadership can have
informed options of what the org will need; skills mapping is
redefined to allow float of talent across functions and roles,
which enables an integrated personalized career path
offering. Through some use cases, the audience will be able
to see 'live' how the three bring more value than the current
approaches.
