13. Digital workforce skills: Technical and human
u All jobs are changing: routinized, high-volume, low-judgment activities will
be automated out of daily work – including HR and workforce enablement
u The challenge is in understanding what skills and new roles are coming online,
and how to upskill workforce and leadership teams around these new skills
Two key types of skills
1. Technical: How to integrate AI, Machine Learning, Analytics, Blockchain,
Robotics, etc. into evolving strategy, operations and product development
2. Human: How to use critical thinking, collaboration skills, creative processes
and similar human skills to evolve the workforce as an organization
. . . So how do you think about upskilling for a digital workforce? 13
14. u Use Agile as both a methodology and a cultural mindset
u Use Design Thinking to start with the employee, client, end user
u Use AI to scale and analyze feedback, create adaptive learning
and track engagement
4. Upskill using Agile, Design Thinking and AI
Digital transformation requires new methods and practices.
p.s. Agile does not mean doing the same things faster!

15
16. How to upskill: Agile
u Start with senior management buy-in
u Develop pilot projects to show immediate value
u Ensure common understanding of agile approaches
u Identify innate blockers or possible conflicts
u Have a roadmap for agile role out and adoption
u Right size training for different roles and goals
u Be sure you can collect and analyze feedback
Example: IBM used agile practices to create and continuously improve its Think
Academy MOOC targeting 380k employees across 170 countries using 2 week sprints
that alternated between technical architecture and user experience improvements.
16
17. How to upskill: Design Thinking
u Ensure your organization is employee and client-centric
u Start with the end user in mind.
u Know what you want learners to be able to do – not only
the information you want them to consume
u Consider using “Hill Statements”: Who, what, and “wow”
to articulate what the end goal of your project will be
u Define minimum, medium and ideal parameters
u Create a culture of continuous improvement
It’s time for you to “empathize” with your employees, follow them around, survey
and interview them, and sit down with them in workshops.
-Josh Bersin: The Employee Experience is Tricker and More Important than You Thought17
18. How to upskill: Artificial Intelligence
u Start with skills gap analysis against the needs of the business
u Use AI to identify patterns of employee learning and inquiry
u Provide adaptive quizzing and micro-learning
u Identify and match employee skills to mentors or job roles
u Nudge employees to recall key materials or put learning into practice
u Use chatbots for everything from Q&A to more complex conversations
u Examples:
u Hugo’s story a first person upskilling journey experience
u Citi’s CLO Cameron Hedrick is upskilling 200K employees using AI
Nota Bene: AI can address but also reinforce cultural and organizational bias

19. 5. Effective ways to measure success (and failure)
Foundational Principles:
1. management buy-in for metrics that relate new skills to business value
2. both/and: employee understanding of new technologies/effective use of them
3. rapid prototyping/pilots/fast failure as first approach to new tech and programs
Business Value Measure
Skills alignment with business need Low complexity skills – machines/AI
High complexity skills - humans
Culture of continuous learning Employee engagement with adaptive
learning systems
Talent: acquisition, satisfaction,
retention
Rankings, development, meaning
Improved productivity Increased speed to market, innovation
Shared understanding of digital
transformation
Organization culture survey, pulse, and
monitoring
19
