 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Simplicity is Key: Keep processes, communication, and training simple rather than overcomplicating things. As <a href="https://www.ele.llc/members/anton-maletich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anton Maletich</a> aptly stated, "Don't bring data into your new HCM just because you have the data...Don't put a bunch of data in just because it's going to consume you right validating it."</li>
 	<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Adoption as a Continuous Journey: Recognize that adoption is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. Plan for continuous change, enhancements, and building skills over time.</li>

Session Focus: Tips for creating a skills database with Skills Cloud (Workday)

In this insightful session, panelists shared their real-world experiences implementing skills initiatives like Workday Skills Cloud. Key takeaways included:
1) Data harmonization across different skill source systems like learning platforms and applicant tracking systems is a major challenge that should not be underestimated. Having a unified skills taxonomy/ontology is helpful for scaling skills efforts.
2) Manage expectations by starting small with pilots/proof of concepts rather than overselling an enterprise-wide skills solution upfront. Properly resourcing the skills initiative is critical for success.
3) As one panelist stated: "I think depends on your industry, some Industries have a lot of rapidly changing skills where you need a lot more flexibility. While others maybe things haven't changed as much." The flexibility vs structure required in your skills model should depend on how rapidly skills are evolving in your organization's roles.
Attendees gained valuable tips on getting a skills implementation off the ground, from defining skills and harmonizing data sources, to rightsizing expectations and resources. The panel's insights highlighted both the potential and pitfalls to be aware of when launching a skills cloud platform like Workday's offering.

Over 70% of global executives told i4cp that skills shortages pose the greatest potential for disruption to business over the next three years—ahead of inflation, supply chain interruption, geopolitical instability, and other factors. Unfortunately, most of those organizations said they don’t know the skills of their current workforces, what they will need in the next one to three years, or how to effectively bridge any gaps.  Building a skill database can help identify skills from existing data, and match skills to jobs, roles, gigs, projects, learning opportunities, and more.  This session will present for discussion the challenges and opportunities for building and maintaining a skill database.

Why create and maintain a skills database? What are the benefits?
<ul>
 	<li>Talent mobility.</li>
 	<li>Employee development and career paths.</li>
 	<li>Supporting a learning culture.</li>
 	<li>Leverage hidden talents.</li>
 	<li>Strategic planning.</li>
</ul>
Who are your "skills" stakeholders?
<ul>
 	<li>Line leaders (functional/regional)</li>
 	<li>Learning and development</li>
 	<li>Talent acquisition and hiring managers</li>
 	<li>Performance management</li>
 	<li>Compensation / total rewards</li>
 	<li>Workforce planning</li>
 	<li>Succession planning</li>
 	<li>C-Suite and Board</li>
 	<li>Employees themselves</li>
