Pragmatic Skills-Based Organization
A pragmatic approach to establishing a skills-based organization is essential for addressing business-critical issues within companies. The focus on skills-based hiring, internal mobility, and development often overlooks the foundational business problems that need to be addressed for successful implementation. For example, companies like United Airlines have taken significant strides to identify the specific skills of their maintenance workforce to comply with regulatory requirements and improve performance. Without this targeted approach, many organizations may struggle to harness the potential of a skills-based system effectively.
