4 Ways to Close a Critical Skills Gap

Companies will fundamentally face a shortage of critical skills in the future. Hence, we believe that learning and development, recruiting for the internal workforce is not going to be sufficient to tap into the required resources. Workforce for the future will be defined as being much broader than it is today. Today’s workforce, first and foremost, is the internal workforce. Going forward, given the scarcity of the required skills, companies will need to look beyond the boundaries of the company to access critical talent. That means they will need to be able to access the freelance population, they will need to be able to access the crowdsource community. They will need to be able to partner in a sustainable and effective way with other companies to access and retain critical talent. And they need to manage these talent pools across the internal and the external world in a fluid, flexible, and up to date manner.

Our deep expertise, powerful insights, and real-world solutions help the people and organizations we serve take steps today to secure a better tomorrow.
