Closing the Skill Gap at IBM

#Upskilling and #reskilling is a topic in almost every learning and talent conversation. Regardless of what industry or function you’re in, it’s important as the half-life of employee skills continues to dwindle. For some organizations, the need to pull it off is important for staying at the top of their game and maintaining a competitive advantage. For other organizations, it’s a baseline requirement for staying in business. So, what should you do if the livelihood of the entire company was balanced on your ability to reskill your employees? In this episode I’m talking with Vinod Uniyal about what it really means, what it really takes, and what it looks like to close the skills gap and how #IBM is managing to pull it off. We’ll also dig into the journey they’ve been on as they’ve completely transformed their business and the role #upskilling and #reskilling has played in making the transformation possible.
