| Organisations
work at their best when they make the most of their available
assets. For most businesses in the 21st century,
that asset is their people, yet surprisingly few take the time to
fully understand the capability of the workforce and to maximise
its potential.
Adopting a simple skills management
methodology can help organisations ensure that the capabilities of
the workforce align to strategic objectives. Doing so
addresses three key questions that should be at the heart of any
business strategy:
- What skills and capabilities
do we need to achieve our goals?
- What skills and capabilities
do we currently have?
- How can we ensure that we
acquire the skills and capabilities that we need to succeed?
Skills management provides the means to enable
organisations to determine what skills they have and what skills
they need to perform. The greatest single reason for actively
managing skills is that when an organisation knows what they can
do, they can work to their strengths.
Managing skills and capabilities effectively
means that an organisation can develop the right skills, deploy
them to the best effect and provide appropriate career and
development paths for its people.
To help you achieve this goal, Global
Knowledge has created a one day hands-on workshop aimed at helping
you find the best way to manage the capability of your
workforce.
The
skills management workshop is designed to
support organisations that are considering or in the process of
implementing a more structured approach to the management of
skills.
It aims to equip participants with a range of
tools and techniques that will enable them to begin the process of
creating and/or implementing a skills framework and managing
skills. The day is structured as a series of interactive and
participative sessions designed to give participants hands-on
experience of what they need to do to start managing skills
effectively.
