How to hire juniors, recent grads, and graduate talent with the right future skills?
Technology disruption and business transformation continue to unfold at faster pace than ever before. These two megatrends drive the third: Talent Transformation.
The tech-driven future of business requires you hire for future skills
Massive changes in the business landscape — specifically the tools, data, processes, and speed of business operations — are changing the nature of the work people are expected to do.
The immediate takeaway is this: your company requires a different set of skills to function now and going forward.
How can you find and hire talent with the future skills your business increasingly requires?
Your Skills Operating System (“SOS”)
Can you get your work done using a ten year old desktop running old software while connecting to the Internet via a low-speed connection?
Clearly not.
But if you insist, it’ll come at a huge cost in terms of time, delivery, quality, and frustration.
Same thing with skills. Think about it this way.
The new business and work landscape requires new and emerging skills — a New Skills Operating System — while other skills you used to hire for have lower value.
Your organization needs to upgrade its “Skill Operating System” in order to effectively perform future work and achieve future growth.
Set Your SOS
Your new SOS is a combination of certain skills, competencies, and mindsets from the following skill categories—
thinking & analysis skills
social skills
collaboration & teamwork skills
self-management skills
management & leadership skills
learning skills
project initiation skills
decision-making skills
growth & digital mindsets
experimentation & innovation skills
and others
While your target combination of skills (and their weights) may vary at different parts of your matrix, it’s critical to establish a New Skills Operating System for the future of your business — and use that SOS as your Talent Transformation backbone.
