Learning, skills and business impact: a must-listen for HR leaders

We all know it: skills are moving fast…really really fast! How can organizations ensure that learning truly connects to business outcomes? That’s the question at the heart of the latest episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, featuring Vincent‑Pierre Giroux (Global Learning & Talent Development Director, Alstom) and hosted by David Green.

As sponsor, 365Talents is proud to partner in this conversation that brings the future of HR into sharp focus.

Why this matters now

Skills is the language we use to bring together people, learning and development, and business needs.
- David Green

In the episode, Vincent-Pierre shares how Alstom has led resets across industries, how skills volatility is reshaping mobility, engagement and retention—and how leadership must adapt in this disrupted environment.

For HR, learning & development, and people analytics leaders, this means moving beyond dashboards and certifications to meaningful metrics, aligned to business impact.

Key take-aways (and how 365Talents helps)

  • Reconnecting learning to business outcomes: beyond completion rates and into value creation.
  • Skills volatility = new mobility & retention dynamics: the right skills strategy is now a strategic lever.
  • Leadership qualities for the new era: agility, curiosity, and the ability to build a learning culture.
  • Measuring truly: ROI in learning is not just cost vs. spend—it's about future-readiness, behavior change, skill activation.
