How to Navigate Challenges in Skills-Bas...

DAVID GREEN
About this episode

Taking the first steps towards becoming a skills-based organisation is exciting—but what does it really take to get started? 

 

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders Podcast, David Green sits down with Christophe Cabrera, Director and Head of IT Talent and Company Reputation at UCB, to share an honest look at the early days of their transformation. 

 

Unlike the polished success stories we often hear, this conversation is all about the reality of starting out: what works, what doesn’t, and how to build momentum.  

 

Here’s what you can expect: 


  • The biggest challenges in getting started, from outdated approaches to experimenting with AI 
  • How UCB used proof-of-concept to build confidence in AI-powered solutions 
  • Managing the complexities of a workforce spread across production, clinical and office roles 
  • Keeping their skills framework agile as new competencies emerge 
  • Defining what success looks like, with internal mobility and personalised learning leading the way 

 

This conversation, sponsored by TechWolf, is an honest and practical look at what it takes to get started with skills-based management. TechWolf is an AI-powered solution focused on one mission: delivering reliable skills data for every role and every employee in your organisation. 

 

With TechWolf, companies like HSBC, GSK, IQVIA, Workday, and United Airlines have accelerated time-to-hire by 32%, boosted internal mobility by 42%, and saved around $1,000 per employee annually on talent management. Visit techwolf.com for more information.
