Breaking Down Talent Intelligence: How the right insights can help you shift from a leaky talent pipeline to a healthy talent portfolio

Talent intelligence is having its perfect storm moment. Purpose-built AI changes everything, organizations are leaning into skills to fully leverage talent, and HR knows it needs a more dynamic understanding of talent in the context of work in order to deploy a ready and durable workforce. Making conditions ripe for AI-driven insights about where skills exist or need to, how the business can better fill gaps, and what's really stopping us.

Mercer’s Jess Von Bank is joined by Eightfold AI’s Jason Cerrato and Rebecca Warren to explore Mercer’s latest research: whose job is upskilling, what's stopping the workforce from attaining in-demand skills on their own behalf, and how can better insights and access to real career mobility help?

Key topics:

• So is employee data the same as talent intelligence? How about analytics? What context is necessary to make talent intelligence relevant, dynamic, and transformational?
• How does talent intelligence fit into the skills conversation? How do these strategies mutually serve each other?
• Skill advancement feels more attainable to leaders and others at the top. In fact, executives are 3X more likely than hourly workers to spend 30% or more of their time learning new skills for work. Why the huge disparity, and what's the effect?
• Are we finally ready to move past the infamous leaky bucket approach to talent we’ve always taken? We'll uncover what a different approach might look like -- and the big difference it could make to talent outcomes.
• Who really needs talent intelligence? The business? HR? What would happen if we let workers themselves have access and agency to drive their own upskilling, career development, and mobility? If our business value is obvious and meaningful to us, wouldn't we be more compelled to deliver more of it?
