Sandra Loughlin — Inside a True, Skills-Based Organization
Sandra is the chief learning scientist at Epam Systems, a global provider of software engineering, digital platform engineering, and product development services.
Interestingly, EPAM has been on a skills-based journey for over 30 years and is as close an example as you’ll find of a skills-based organization.
Sandra has been a proud advocate of Epam’s journey and helped build the critical foundations with ups and downs!
Key topics in this episode:
Should every organization become skills-based?
Matching skills supply & demand data
The EPAM way and how they stand out in the market
The importance of skills data for the business
Skepticism about skills-based initiatives
Explore how Sandra’s expertise can inspire your journey toward a skills-based organization.
My key takeaway quotes:
“Skills are owned by the business (...). It’s impossible for a people organization to know what skills are trending, what skills are critical, and start predicting skills needed."
"Have someone come in and look at your ecosystem - chances are you have redundancies & gaps."
“How long will it take to be a skills-based organization? It is a long-term play because it’s a data play.”
