How organisations manage their shifting skills need

Most organisations use one of two approaches to ensure employees have the necessary skills:

• Reactive: Organisations often scramble to build new skills as needs arise. By the time HR can put together a learning solution, the business has moved on.
• Predictive: Over 50% of HR leaders attempt to predict the business' future skills need, but it may lead to misplaced investments in wasted training or outdated skills.

A third approach is a dynamic approach. Organisations that use a dynamic skills approach can apply 75% of the new skills they learn, as opposed to only 37% of the predictive system.
