Skills-based organizations and skills-based hiring have been some of the hottest topics of the year. While it is hard to find anyone who disagrees that this way of thinking about talent strategies has enormous benefits, there is still much debate about some of the practicalities around strategy and implementation.

I spoke to two genuine HR thought leaders in my fourth and final set of interviews recorded at this year's HR Technology Conference. Heather Jerrehain, VP of Product Management - Employee Workflows at Service Now, and Mike Bollinger, Global VP of Strategic Initiative at Cornerstone on Demand

Both shared their thoughts and insights on the power of skills, the journey towards skills-based organizations, and their sense of what the future might look like.

In the interviews, we discuss:

The impact of AI on jobs, work, and skills

How AI is revolutionizing skills analysis and intelligence

Using data from the hiring process to get a fuller picture of a person's skills

The power of skills-based mobility

Advice on building skills-based strategies

How to get started

The importance of not overcomplicating the process

What types of organizations are already successfully implementing skills-based strategies

Soft skills versus hard skills

Skills development and the value for employees

Integrating technology into skills-based hiring and development.

What will things look like in five years' time?
