Webinar details:
Concern among CEOs about skills has more than doubled in 20 years, from 31% concerned in 1998 to 77% in 2017 – even as the majority of CEOs globally agree that significant retraining/upskilling is the most important way to close their organisation’s potential skills gap as recent as 2019.
Evidently, to upskill or not to upskill is no longer the question – human capital is a top-three business priority for the C-suite.
What that means for L&D professionals is an intense focus on revamping employees’ entire skills sets, including technical, behavioural and line-of-business skills. The preference for skills with a longer shelf-life and that can be transferred to many different roles is a trend that cannot be ignored; in fact, it is a possible solution for organisations to wade their way out of a recessionary business environment.
In this webinar, we enlist the support of C-suite experts to identify key skills areas for the future, how to gain stakeholder buy-in, build frameworks around these, and anticipate future changes rather than simply dealing with the consequences – in the process future-proofing their workforce.

Defining and constructing L&D skills frameworks necessary for the workforce to achieve business goals intelligently and efficiently.
