Most organizations have skills data. Very few trust it enough to use it for decisions.
Self-assessments are biased.
Systems don’t talk to each other.
AI inference raises as many questions as it answers.
And leaders still struggle to act with confidence.
This executive roundtable brings together senior HR, Talent, and L&D leaders for a candid, peer-driven discussion on how organizations are actually building usable, trusted skills data—and where many efforts break down.
Rather than focusing on tools or dashboards, the conversation will center on real practices and tradeoffs, including:
– What types of skills data are worth collecting—and what’s noise
– How leaders are combining self-reporting, manager validation, learning data, and AI inference
– Practical approaches to data governance, bias mitigation, and trust
– Moving from fragmented systems to skills insights leaders will act on
This is not a vendor presentation or maturity-model walkthrough. It’s a facilitated discussion grounded in real-world lessons from organizations actively working through skills data challenges.
Designed for leaders who want skills data that informs decisions—not just dashboards.
