How to Build a Skills-Based Workforce Without Slowing Down the Business

In May 2026, Loïc Michel, CEO of 365Talents, joined a panel of global HR and Talent leaders to explore one of the biggest challenges facing organizations today: how to build a skills-based workforce without slowing down the business.

Together, they discussed why so many skills initiatives struggle to deliver meaningful workforce visibility, and how organizations can move beyond fragmented data and role-based assumptions. You’ll discover how leading organizations are:

  • Moving beyond job titles to understand what people can actually do
  • Creating a more accurate, real-time view of workforce capability
  • Activating existing HR and talent data to support critical business decisions
  • Building skills visibility that enables internal mobility and talent deployment
  • Using skills intelligence to strengthen workforce planning, succession, and organizational design

 

If you’re looking to build a skills-based organization that delivers business value—not just another skills framework—this session provides practical insights from leaders who are actively transforming how their organizations understand, develop, and deploy talent.

 

Hosted by Christopher Rainey, CEO & Co-Founder at HR Leaders, panelists included:

  • Tracy St.Dic, Global Head of Talent at Zapier
  • Zaka Farhat, Global SVP Talent, Learning, Organization & Capability Development at GSK
  • Alice Y., Head of Talent, Culture and Organizational Performance at Ascendion
  • and Loïc Michel, Co-Founder & CEO at 365Talents
