Navigating the Dynamics of Skill-Based Conversations in Organizations

Gina Jeneroux is the former Chief Learning Officer at BMO Financial Group, where she gained years of experience in enterprise learning and skills strategies, design, operations, and governance.

She now sits at the intersection of AI, skills, and industry as the Chief Skills & Innovation Officer at Executive Networks, Professor of Practice in Future Work & Skills, and Director of the Future Talent Research Institute at International Business University (IBU).

We cover many topics, including:

• The skills agenda moving beyond learning
• How to create business buy-in for skills-based journeys
• How to select HRtech vendors
• Leading with strategy & following with technology
• Managing learning as a business

My key takeaway quotes:

• “Look for the 'wind in the sails' moments .(...) you need to be opportunistic"

• "You need to build a Coalition of Belief"

• "The best choice around vendors is to find a match on vision & values"
