Redesigning the job architecture has become part of implementing a new HRIS. These architectures are hollow shells without a rich skill and competency model.

Models help us understand the world. In HR and learning & development, the important models are for skills & competencies. See the results of a recent survey.

People analytics was a critical theme at the inaugural Transform HR Conference. What is people analytics? Why does it matter to the business? Where does skill management fit in? The talent-first CEO needs a skill management platform.

If people analytics is only for the benefit of the organization it will have minimal impact. The best people analytics systems will provide insights for people at all levels of the organization and help them to improve performance.
