Accenture - Skills 2.0: After the Hype

The skills-based organisation was supposed to change everything. For many, it hasn't; bloated taxonomies, stale self-reported data and pilots that stalled before they scaled have left leaders asking what comes next. In this session, Accenture and TechWolf cut through the noise. We'll explore why so many skills pilots fail, what it takes to fix them and why data (accurate, current and inferred from real work) sits at the heart of every successful skills strategy. See how combining Workday's system of record with TechWolf's AI-driven skill inference creates an always-current view of the skills you have and the skills you need, without the manual upkeep that sank Skills 1.0. We'll bring it to life with a client case study showing what good looks like in practice. Skills 2.0 isn't about doing more. It's about doing it right.
