About the webinar
2025 has been the year the skills conversation became a strategic priority. Organizations have moved away from treating skills as a side activity and focused on building a clear picture of what their people can do, where the gaps are, and how development connects to business outcomes.
This session brings together experts who spent the year working on real transformation projects. They will share what changed in 2025, what proved effective inside complex organisations, and what lessons should guide planning for 2026. The discussion will cover the rise of AI in skills intelligence, the move toward consistent assessment practices, and the renewed focus on internal mobility as a source of growth.
You will also hear the key trends that shaped the year, including the need for transparent skills data, higher expectations from employees, and the pressure to show measurable progress. If you want a concise and practical view of what defines 2025 and how these insights can support your strategy for the coming year, this session will be valuable.
