Building a Skills-First Talent Strategy for the Future Workforce

How can organisations build a workforce that's ready for an AI-powered future?

Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing how work gets done - and with it, the way organisations think about talent.

As roles evolve and technical skills become obsolete more quickly, organisations are moving beyond traditional hiring models to embrace a skills-first approach. But becoming truly skills-first requires more than changing job descriptions or recruitment practices. It demands a new way of identifying potential, developing capability and enabling people to adapt as business needs change.

Join Indeed and a select group of senior HR and talent leaders for an invitation-only virtual roundtable exploring how organisations can build workforce strategies designed for the future of work. 

Virtual Roundtable Discussion Topics

• Rethinking Talent Through a Skills-First Lens - How could shifting to a skills-first approach transform the way organisations identify, attract, develop and retain talent? We'll explore how leading organisations are moving beyond traditional qualifications to focus on capability and potential.
• What Does "Qualified" Mean in an AI-Enabled Workplace? As AI increasingly augments technical expertise, the balance between human capability and technical skills is shifting. Which capabilities will become the greatest differentiators, and how should organisations redefine what it means to be qualified? 
• Embedding Skills-First Across the Business - Many organisations see skills-first as a talent acquistion initiative, but lasting impact requires broader organisational change. We'll discuss how to make skills-first part of how the business hires, develops, mobilises and grows talent - not simply another HR programme. 

Why This Conversation Matters

The organisations best positioned for the future won't simply hire differently - they'll build the capability to continually adapt.

A skills-first strategy creates greater workforce agility, improves internal mobility, broadens access to talent, and helps organisations respond to the rapid pace of technological change. As AI continues to reshape work, the ability to identify and develop skills - not just fill roles - will become a defining competitive advantage.

This virtual roundtable offers an opportunity to discuss these challenges openly with peers, share perspectives and explore practical ways to build a workforce that is resilient, adaptable and ready for what's next.
