Skills and Strategy “Mind the Gap”
How do you connect your organisation’s skills inventory with your strategy? How do you identify delivery or operational risk due to gaps in key skills?
Without an objective, granular view of the skills (not roles) your people have, whether internal or external to your organisation, and don’t have, achievement of your strategy is at risk. Projects will fail or fail to deliver to the targeted levels of quality, schedule, and cost.
On October 31, 2024, Ara Digital, together with WG Advisory, hosted an insightful webinar as part of #SFIAWeek, marking the launch of SFIA version 9. This event, led by Kim Gordon from Ara Digital and Gary Walker from WG Advisory, explored how aligning your organisation’s skills inventory with your strategic goals is essential for success in today’s competitive landscape.
The discussion focused on identifying existing skills, pinpointing critical skill gaps, and building a data-driven approach to managing and mitigating operational risks. Kim and Gary shared a case study on how they collaborated with a client to identify skill requirements for projects, assess potential risks, and create a sustainable skills framework to enhance performance.
Key Takeaways:
Align workforce skills with organisational strategy for impactful outcomes
Develop clarity and confidence to deliver high-quality projects on time and on budget
Use a skills-based approach to future-proof your organisation
