Verified Skills, Real Growth: Building Capabilities You Can Prove

Description

Most organizations still rely on self-assessments, inferred data, or training hours to track workforce skills. Leaders know those proxies don’t tell you if your people are ready for AI, new roles, or tomorrow’s business demands.

In this session, RedThread Research and Workera cut through the noise. You’ll see how enterprises are replacing guesswork with verified skill signals, baselining any role in any department, and proving measurable growth over time in 90-day close-the-gap cycles you can defend to the CFO. Together, we’ll show a practical playbook for building capabilities faster, integrating verified data into your HRIS and LXP, addressing validity and bias mitigation, and reporting progress in business metrics leaders trust. We’ll also show how to prove value with small, time-boxed pilots.

You'll learn how to:

• Establish a verified baseline and continuously measure skill growth (with validity and bias mitigation addressed).
• Prioritize development where it matters, aligning upskilling with strategy in as little as 90 days.
• Show impact with CFO-ready executive metrics like time-to-readiness, internal mobility, and project staffing speed.
• Integrate verified skills data with your HRIS/LXP and de-risk adoption with small, time-boxed pilots.

Who should attend:

 Senior L&D, talent, and HR leaders who need a defensible, integrated way to measure, grow, and report enterprise skills at scale.
