Talent Management | Why streamlining your job architecture has to be your first step to moving to a skills-based approach

Skills transformation can only be truly effective if the foundations are solid. We focus on why fixing the core is key to success.

“A job architecture provides the foundation for implementing a skills-based approach within an organisation”.

Organisations are evolving at an unprecedented pace. The typical enterprise organisation has undertaken five major changes in the past three years — and nearly 75% expect to multiply the types of major change initiatives they will undertake in the next three years

One of the key impacts of this rapid evolution is the need for a radical, new approach to how we define and describe jobs and work.

When the pace of change was relatively slow, jobs could be described using traditional job descriptions. These would define the exact nature of the work that an individual needed to do, usually in a long list of tasks and remained static over time.
