The Talent You Already Have: Using Skills Data to Identify Emerging Talent

Organizations often focus their talent strategies on identifying who is ready now for the next role, project or leadership opportunity. But in today’s rapidly changing workforce, that approach can overlook employees with emerging potential, transferable capabilities and adjacent skills that are not always visible through traditional talent indicators.

This session explores how organizations can use skills data and visibility to better identify emerging talent, uncover hidden capabilities, and create more intentional pathways for growth and internal mobility. We will discuss why job titles, tenure and manager recommendations are no longer enough, and how learning leaders can play a critical role in helping organizations better understand and develop the talent they already have.

Attendees will leave with practical ideas for better identifying employee potential, supporting career growth and creating more intentional development opportunities through skills visibility.
