Talent acquisition practioners should learn to assess candidates' potentials as there are cases when candidates themselves are not aware of their hidden skills and capabilities until they are guided to discover them through coaching, challenging projects, and stretch assignments. Through a deliberate "discovery program", potentials are unleashed, developed and sharpened helping them become "stars" and "great talent". #hiretaletsforthefuture

It was such a pleasure to co-present with two of the most forward thinking partners in crime that I have worked with from the World Bank Group, Edna Diez (IBRD) and Daniela Araujo (IFC), at this year's Career Development Roundtable, around a very relevant topic of Move to Skills-Based Organization, with such engaging and purpose-driven participants from the UN Agencies and Development Banks. This is a clear shift of paradigm towards a strategic direction, to navigate the future of work disruptions ahead. This time, HR is leading from the front ...

It was an honor to present at the Career Development Roundtable (CDR) in Washington D.C., where I had the opportunity to share our journey in building a Skills-Based organization with a fantastic panel: Edna Diez and Farbod Nassiri, P.Eng. Moving towards a skill-based talent management approach offers numerous advantages. However, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of WHY this shift makes sense for your organization before embarking on this long-term journey. Ask yourself: What business problem are you trying to solve? How will this transformation enable your organization to deliver its mission? Having clarity on the WHY is essential as the transformation towards a skill-based organization is not a short-term endeavor. #CareerDevelopment #SkillsBasedOrganization #TransformationJourney
