Exploring the Future of Skill-based Organisations

According to PwC, three-quarters of CEOs are concerned about the availability of key skills and how this could constrain them from acquiring, developing, and retaining the talent they need to drive growth. This is prompting an increasing number of companies to transition towards a ‘skills-based organisation’. The effort to do so should not be underestimated especially as the consequence of this shift is that the dominant structure of work for the past century – the job – is increasingly being disrupted.

Attendance data and productivity data, and benefits enrollment were all kept on individual spreadsheets on someone’s computer to use for all HR decision-making.

Why Are People the Key Ingredients to Data-driven Transformation?

One can't pick up an industry or trade publication without headlines extolling digital transformation, data-driven cultures, and artificial intelligence. Most of the focus is on new software, hardware, and gadgets that will magically "transform" its capabilities. We, too, are excited about the potential. Unfortunately, though, most transformation efforts fail. From our perspective, the most important reason is a too-narrow focus on technology, coupled with a failure to embrace people. Indeed, it appears that many transformation efforts view people as part of the problem.

What’s Wrong with People Data?

In a recent report by TI People and FOUNT Global, Inc, “The Big, Bad State of EX”, 70% of the respondents reported that their organisation's Employee Experience (EX) data is inadequate for their needs. Another finding was that HR professionals take too much responsibility for EX, with 76% of EX professionals responding to the survey saying they are primarily accountable for the quality of EX at their organisations, while business leaders and managers are the #1 influencers of EX in their company.

I was delighted to sit down recently with Jennifer Sigler, FOUNT’s research director and the main author of The Big, Bad State of EX report, for a discussion on the issues identified in the study in relation to people data for this executive article.
