Today, the half life of a skill is 18-36 months according to this week’s Roundtable Guest, Chris Havrilla, VP of HC Technology Research & Advisory, HC Ecosystems & Alliances at Deloitte Consulting. For Chris, the focus needs to change and be less about skills and more about human capabilities. She believes this, along with the shrinking workforce, no longer allows employers to “churn and burn” through talent. For her, the goal must shift from accessing workers to how do I access work and experiences? How do I access talent at the right place and the right time?
Chris will share how this can be done at the intersection of internal talent mobility and accessing outside talent creating a dynamic environment with the goal to match work that needs to be done with workers. This new approach forces a shift from creating a “job” to looking at the employer’s workforce in its entirety in order to match skills with work that needs to be done then supplementing the workforce with additional talent at the right place and the right time to complete the work.
We will explore how the future of work will be divided into three distinct marketplaces- internal mobility, developmental and brokerage. Chris will dive into how these marketplaces will be silo busters where talent acquisition, talent management, learning and development and workforce experience will all be intertwined.
We will discuss:
How do employers access work and experiences?
How does an employer create a framework that focuses on “the work” vs. a job?
What are the three marketplace approaches and how will these impact human capital roles in an organization?
As always- no sales pitches. No boring presentations. Just good conversation.
