Skills Base

We're often asked about the value of skill insights -- One easy answer is skills-based resource allocation. The right person with the right skills/certifications/desire, at the right level, at the right time. Many Skills Base customers like Converge One / C1 often start with an initial struggle -- unwieldy Excel spreadsheets; they're difficult to update, prone to errors, and not scalable. They end up with a solution to effectively solve the skills management problem -- a robust, centralized system to track and manage the skills of their workforce to make better decisions. 👇 If this sounds like you, make sure to read the entire case study in the comments below.

We've been working on the skills taxonomy problem for a while now -- in fact, over a decade. Some people are ahead of the game, so we made it simple to bulk import their skills (and other) data into Skills Base. Some people need a few templates, so we did that too, through the Skills Base Library. Some people need a bit of help along the way, and our customer success team has worked with hundreds of customers to get ready to leverage skill insights. And now, We're working on the next evolution to this solution. An AI tool to help anyone get ahead on their skills journey. This is the first of several articles from Nick Stanley and Steven George as they bring this product and feature into reality. Time to jump on board!

It's time to talk about AI-powered skills intelligence. “I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do,” said HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence-equipped CPU on Discovery One from the (at the time) fantastical sci-fi movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. The value of skills data is undeniable. The question is, how do you access that data instantly to support your workforce decisions? Nick Stanley lays out how we see skills intelligence at Skills Base, what we've done, what is available right now, and our plans for the future.
