THE CHALLENGE

As a leader in an enterprise business you are familiar with a highly structured, matrix environment. A colleague may belong to one or several projects. At the same time, they are a part of the functional office or a competency center. The competency centres take care of the professional development by enhancing existing skills and developing the skills that will be needed to meet the organisational needs of tomorrow.

This brings some challenges, for example:

  • Which skills should we invest in?
  • How to achieve the right mix between training, re-training and hiring people with the necessary skills?
  • How can we put the new skills into practice?

In essence, the systemic and scalable development of an organisation requires the balance between the key components, such as strategy, human capital, processes and ongoing initiatives or projects, as illustrated in the infographic:
