Why should you be thinking about a skills-powered strategy? According to research, the biggest challenges in 2024 are solving for talent agility and designing sustainable people practices.
This is a supplemental workbook to the implementing a skills-powered strategy...one iteration at a time webinar. In this content, we introduce four sprints to achieve results in delivering skills at scale, including defining the organization's unique purpose, engaging with stakeholders, building a roadmap, and activating through pilots. This workbook aims to provide exercises and practical advice, strategies, and examples to help you get started with delivering skills at scale.

Executing each sprint

Four (manageable) sprints to achieve results. Jobs without skills will date quickly — and skills without structure can’t scale across your business. Include skills at the heart of your jobs to: 

  • Ensure

    relevancy over time

  • Identify

    the right talent to get the right work done

  • Create

    a clear use case for your employees
Mercer skills experts discuss the impact of small iterations rather than monumental leaps in achieving skills-powered talent goals. Starting from the ideation stage, the discussion focusses on gaining buy-in, prioritizing investments, equipping teams and building a skills foundation that unleashes the unique potential of your organization.
