Quantified organization: Skills intelligence

The concept of a quantified organization focuses on strategically measuring what an organization should, not just what it can. To achieve this, organizations can harness new data sources and leverage AI to drive worker and business goals. In this episode, host Burt Rea is joined by Michael Griffiths and ServiceNow’s Heather Jerrehian to discuss the transition to a skills-based organization—exploring how skills data can help organizations better understand their workforce’s strengths, build strategies to close talent gaps, and enhance the employee experience.

Our vision for Employee Growth and Development, or EGD, as we like to call it, is about helping organizations to better understand the strength of their workforce and build a scalable skills strategy. It’s about closing those talent gaps and improving employee experience. And for us at ServiceNow, that’s all on a single platform ... Moving to a skills-based organization we know is difficult, but it’s super important to meet your business needs. Do you have the right people doing the right work at the right time? To have that visibility to skills you have in your organization to understand where you might need to reskill, upskill, or even redeploy your talent, as you’re thinking about your build, buy, or borrow strategy.

This year, we’re continuing our research for our 2024 Global Human Capital Trends Report.
