The market is alive with discussion about becoming skills-powered, with plenty of conflicting advice and a tendency to overpromise on how straightforward it can be. However, there are many ‘snakes’ (challenges) that prevent organisations from fully embracing this journey. But fear not, for every snake, there’s a ‘ladder’ (an enabler) to help you climb higher.
Join us for an interactive workshop where we’ll tackle the barriers to a skills-powered organisation and show you how to navigate your way to success. Whether you’re facing data challenges, cultural resistance, or struggling to get executive buy-in, we’ll help you unpack these issues and provide practical solutions to smooth your journey.
What do you mean by interactive workshop?
Forget what you know about work events, this won’t be a ‘sitting in a quiet room listening event’. We believe people get the most of events that they can actually enjoy, so this play on snakes and ladders aims to do just that.
Attendees will be split into small groups and rotate around our playing board to each of our expert-led sessions. Each hands-on session will be short and sweet (around 20 minutes) with practical takeaways.
We will end the event with a lively panel discussion and drinks reception to recap the learnings from the day and to answer any outstanding questions from our valued players.
The event will start at 2:30pm and workshops will end at around 5pm, giving participants an opportunity to network and browse our skills technology safari before a panel discussion with our experts. We understand that half a day is a commitment, but we hope to have meeting rooms available so should you need just ask.
