From Skills Strategy to Operating Model: When Everyone Owns Skills, No One Does

Many skills initiatives stall for the same reason: unclear ownership and fuzzy decision rights.

As skills initiatives expand across hiring, learning, mobility, and workforce planning, leaders face hard questions:

  • Who owns skills at the enterprise level?
  • How do decision rights work across HR, Talent, L&D, and the business?
  • What governance is essential—and what just creates friction?

This interactive roundtable brings together senior leaders to share how they are designing practical, scalable skills operating models—grounded in data, aligned to business priorities, and resilient over time.

Expect an honest, experience-driven discussion on:

  • Governance models that actually scale
  • Balancing enterprise standards with local accountability
  • Using pilots to shape long-term decisions
  • Avoiding the most common operating-model pitfalls

Designed for leaders who are moving from skills vision to execution.
