According to the Deloitte 2023 Global Human Capital Trends survey, more than 90% of surveyed business leaders believe that using technology to improve work outcomes and team performance is very important or important to an organization’s success.
Yet only 22% believe their organizations are very ready to use technology to improve work outcomes and team performance.
So, my problem was how in crisp, effective, easy to understand business language talk with my CEO and CFO that investing in bridging the skills gap of our employees is crucial for company`s future performance!
My approach began with a meticulous search for individuals genuinely committed to understanding and resolving my specific challenge, rather than offering generic solutions. I sought out individuals who demonstrated active listening skills and a sincere desire to collaborate.
After an extensive quest for assistance, I was fortunate to connect with a team of experts who possessed a profound passion for Research and Development (R&D), Ikigai philosophy, and Design Thinking principles. Their dedication to the intersection of education and technology, coupled with their fundamental belief in the value of human potential and continuous learning, proved invaluable in tackling my problem.
Their Contributions to Solving the Problem:
Primarily, these individuals applied a strategic blend of Ikigai philosophy and Design Thinking methodologies to craft a user-friendly, yet technologically sophisticated educational solution tailored to my HR needs. This solution facilitates seamless learning and adaptation among my company`s workforce.
Simultaneously, their expertise allowed me to articulate a compelling business case for investing in employee training and development. By showcasing how targeted upskilling and reskilling initiatives translate into tangible benefits such as cost efficiencies, reduced turnover rates, and heightened employee engagement and retention, I was able to underscore the undeniable return on investment (ROI) derived from prioritizing workforce development.
