You’ve been personally selected to join 12 of your peers for a VIP Dinner at the L&D Symposium on Monday 17th June, the evening before official proceedings commence.

This is an exclusive opportunity to network with a selected group of senior leaders and enjoy an evening of thought-provoking roundtable conversation alongside your decadent three-course meal.

In today’s fast-changing business world, it’s crucial for companies to clearly see what skills their workers have, especially if many of them are deskless, frontline workers or in industries that require specialist skills. This exclusive dinner, over some delicious food, will include a discussion around how companies can decide what skills are critical, plan for the future and ensure they have the right people for the job.

We’ll focus on how this affects training and development programs. For starters, we’ll talk about why it’s important to know what skills your workers have, and how it supports managing talent, engaging employees and providing real-time insight into what skills are required now and in the future.

We’ll then tuck into thinking about how ready companies are to deal with changes, what skills are needed, and what the job market looks like. The discussion aims to underscore the importance of prioritising skills visibility as a strategic imperative for organisational resilience and long-term growth. By embracing solutions that support continuous learning, skill development and proactive workforce planning, organisations can position themselves to thrive amidst challenges and seize opportunities for innovation and advancement in their L&D efforts.

Finally, we’ll enjoy a nightcap or dessert and discuss how employers, placing more emphasis on skills as the currency for worker development, are exploring various methods to measure, develop and predict the skills needed in the future. A key consideration is the approach to training delivery: Should it be blended, on-the-job, or another method?

Join us for an evening of tantalising debate and discussion.

Some questions to get you thinking in advance:

. How important is skills visibility in your organisation?
. What challenges do you face in obtaining a clear understanding of the skills your organisation possesses or lacks?
. What strategies have you implemented to meet the demand for knowing which individuals possess which skills and to what proficiency level?
. Do you recognise the sustainability of your organisation as being dependent on the skills present within your workforce?
. What methods do you use to assess the skills of your workforce and how do you upskill further?
