Companies all over the world are buying and implementing skills technology throughout HR. But how do we know what to buy and make sure it’s all going to add value? In this video I unpack a different approach: the pragmatic approach to skills, and how this approach will unlock you from vendor paralysis and make sure your investments really drive tremendous value.
Much more to come on this topic, stay tuned for our upcoming research study on Enterprise Talent Intelligence.

This new study, which looks at 10-year job histories of college graduates in the US found that “of the graduates in non-college-level jobs a year after leaving college, the vast majority remained underemployed a decade later.” This study included college grads from 2012 to 2021, conducted by Burning Glass Institute and Strada Education.
What’s going on? Hundreds of studies continue to show that college graduates outperform non-grads. The [Social Security administration itself states](ssa.gov/policy/docs/research-summaries/education-earnings.html).
Men with bachelor’s degrees earn approximately $900,000 more in median lifetime earnings than high school graduates. Women with bachelor’s degrees earn $630,000 more.
The Burning-Glass/Strada report also points out that students have seen this coming. [College applications are down and students are moving away](wsj.com/us-news/education/why-americans-have-lost-faith-in-the-value-of-college-b6b635f2) from liberal arts toward trade-oriented degrees in computer science and engineering.
Is this a big wakeup call to Colleges? It sure is. Listen to my explanation about what’s going on.

But the big story is not this company, it's the big idea that companies often over-hire. And this over-hiring results in bureaucracy, slowdown, and loss of innovation. Just as Meta has learned this, I believe every company has to learn this lesson. In today's talent-constrained global economy, it's time to run our companies with a focus on "fewer people" and "more clarity."

In the new world of labor shortages, high turnover, unions, and general employee stress, Employee Activation might be the big answer. Here's a definition: “Employee Activation means designing the company so that managers, line executives, and employees can adjust, change, and redesign work around worker’s needs, suggestions, and demands.”

Yes, your AI strategy, your employee experience strategy, and your own career as a professional are all dependent on your "Knowledge Graph." In HR your knowledge graph includes your understanding of HR practices, vendors and tools, economic and workforce data, company culture, industry trends, HR benchmarks, and the many case studies of successful solutions in the domain.
If you think about the knowledge graph in your company, you can develop the right AI strategy for the organization.
