Harvard Business Review recently conducted a study and found that in 2021, over 7.5 million job postings in various business roles required an average of 21 skills, which was 4 more skills needed in 2018.
With such a variety of different skills needed within the workforce, businesses are struggling to find ways to further develop skill sets. With Minetum’s Organizational Development Program, we equip organizations with the right tools to adapt and respond to changes in the market. Our program provides you with a highly effective framework to improve efficiency, increase productivity, and give you the knowledge to become an expert in organizational development.
With organizations needing to adapt to hybrid work environments, mergers, and other business disruptions, Harvard Business Review compiled a list of three different ways businesses are able to keep up with changing skill development:
- Identify Changing Skills Needed: It’s beneficial for organizations to bring together input from leaders, employees, and customers. This process can create a network of stakeholders who can report on the specific skills needed in different areas. By putting all this input in from different skill-sensing networks, they can monitor changing needs and ensure employees are prepared for adapting environments.
- Develop Skill Adjacencies: Organizations are implementing skill adjacencies into their businesses, which is a way to develop skills employees may not have full knowledge of by using previous knowledge they have from similar skill sets. This tactic can help business leaders choose from a larger selection of candidates who can adapt to different skills more quickly by having previous knowledge from similar areas of expertise.
- Foster Transparency Between Employees and the Organization: It’s crucial for leaders to share with their employees evolving skills needed and how these changes can impact different roles throughout the organization. Employees should as well share with the business their career goals and skills. Communication between employees and leaders will help empower the two by giving them the information they need to pursue mutually beneficial development opportunities.
A desire for better equipped organizational development is becoming more in demand due to emerging technologies and the growing pace of strategic change. With Minetum’s Organizational Development Program, we can help you build an organizational structure that matches your company’s strategies and objectives.
