How Skills Mapping Supports Workforce Planning
Workforce planning asks an important strategic question: Does the organization have the human capability it will need to achieve its future objectives?
Skills mapping helps answer it by providing a more flexible lens than job titles alone.
Planning for the future
Organizations must anticipate changes from technology, markets, and automation. A workforce plan based only on today's job titles becomes outdated quickly.
Focusing on capabilities
While future job titles may be unknown, an organization can predict its need for analytical capability, technological literacy, adaptability, and leadership.
Three crucial questions
What current skills do we have? What future strategic capability will we need? How will we close the difference (e.g., through reskilling, recruitment, mobility)?
Managing skill concentration
Identifying critical skills concentrated in too few employees highlights workforce risks that require knowledge transfer and cross-training.
