The National HRD Network, Singapore Chapter, in collaboration with Mercer, recently hosted an engaging session on “Building an Agile and Adaptable Organisation Anchored on Skills Rather than Traditional Roles.”
The discussion focused on:
• The key business drivers fueling this shift — including skill shortages, cost pressures, and tech disruption.
• The core principles and characteristics that define a skills-powered organisation, and how they differ from traditional structures.
• Real-world examples and best practices to bring these concepts to life.
We were privileged to hear from two outstanding speakers:
- Will Collins (Head of Skills and Career Experiences at Standard Chartered) (http://linkedin.com/in/will-collins-b0894289)
- Chitralekha Singh (Principal Skills Practice Leader, Talent & Transformation at Mercer)(http://linkedin.com/in/chitralekhasingh)
A huge thank you to our panelists for sharing their expertise, to Mercer for hosting us, and to all who participated and contributed to the enriching discussions. It was truly a fantastic evening of learning, insights, and connections!
