The Core Concept

What is Skills Intelligence?

Skills Intelligence is the multi-faceted, constantly evolving process of building a dynamic picture of the depth of skills, knowledge and experience across your workforce.

Skills intelligence frameworks can be applied across the talent and workforce management operations of any professional services organization, from project staffing & internal mobility, to learning & development and workforce planning. A robust skills intelligence platform is the engine that drives every successful skills-based organization. Ditch generic static skills libraries, unidimensional taxonomies, and outdated spreadsheets. ProFinda allows you to power your workforce deployment strategy by through a uniquely trained, carefully curated, constantly evolving, and adapting skills intelligence platform.

The Data Dilemma

What are the typical challenges with skills data?

For professional services organizations, assessing the number of employees, their different locations, and associated costs can be quite straightforward. This information is quantifiable. Quantifying a company-wide skill inventory is a whole lot more difficult.

Fragmentation

Distributed across multiple applications and the public web

Centralization

Effective skills aggregation is a hurdle

No Uniformity

No universal language or method of assessment

Categorization

Skills are difficult to manage, categorize, and measure

Skills Evolution

Skills are fluid, constantly evolving

Static Views

Skills are dynamic making real-time tracking difficult

‘Skills’ are an awkward and tricky dataset to handle, with no universal language, way of measuring, or easy way of collecting key data and organizing into digestible formats. With skills at the very heart of an effective resource management process, it’s important to bridge this gap as effectively as possible. The processing power of AI is a critical component in building a rich picture of the skills across any workforce and can also generate a richer, more comprehensive view of work demand.

Why Smart Data Matters

Skills Intelligence is the Solution

Aggregate all skills together in a single place

Establish a unified skills taxonomy for clear connections and growth

Group and categorize for supply-demand alignment

Creating a Common Skills Language

What is a Skills Lingua Franca and how do you build one for your organization?
