And how can I keep this data up to date?”,
what the typical pitfalls are if you want to become a skills-based organization and what can help to overcome them. And she states the importance of the employee perspective.
We discuss SAPs approach to skills management from the whole self model to different solutions like the SAP Talent Intelligence Hub, the Attribute Library and the different scenarios like for recruiting, people development or workforce management.
Finally Martina gives an overview on how AI can help like for skills library creation or tagging- As always we are happy if you share, comment and rate the EducationNewsCast Podcast on https://podcast.opensap.info/education-newscast/

Update on Workplace Learning, Human Performance and Productivity with Charles Jennings
Thomas Jenewein
July 10, 2023
This podcast was recorded on the SAP Training and Change forum with Charles Jennings, known to many as a long-time promoter of the 70:20:10 model. Charles introduced the model briefly and its focus on learning through practice, experience or collaboration and discussed its adoption and implementation. This is not a fixed set of rules, but rather a framework. Patterns in adopting the model are due more to organizational culture than in national or industry sector cultures. For example values of openness, high psychological safety, or willingness to change favour adoption of the model. He also shared some tips for practitioners. For example, he suggested creating collaborative experiences such as around peer learning and networking, focusing on learning resources, not training and how to use performance outcomes for measurement of impact such as time-to-performance or actual task completion rather than just measuring ‘learning outputs’. We also talked about digital aspects like electronic performance support, or the the influence of Artificial Intelligence. More, as always, in the Education NewsCast.
