About the Panel Discussion

The shift to skills-based organizations is reshaping how businesses operate, and for good reason. As industries face faster disruption, tighter talent markets, and pressure to do more with less, leaders are realizing that resilient organizations don’t just have great people, they have the right skills in the right places at the right time. But here’s the catch: most companies are using outdated tools to figure out what skills they actually have. Self-reports, static assessments, and infrequent manager reviews give you a fragmented, often biased view of your workforce.

That’s where recognition data comes in. Captured continuously, and grounded in real behavior, recognition offers a powerful new lens into the capabilities and potential inside your organization. When combined with AI and workforce analytics, this "Human Intelligence" becomes a goldmine for surfacing hidden skills, unlocking internal mobility, driving high-value learning, and informing workforce planning at scale.

Join us for a LIVE interactive panel discussion where we’ll explore how leading companies are using recognition as a core input in building truly skills-powered organizations, designed to flex, grow, and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Discover how recognition becomes a scalable, intelligent system for identifying real skills, aligning talent to business needs, and creating a workforce that’s ready for whatever’s next.
