Working from home has become a standard practice these days. The question remains, can we embrace and enjoy such a setting and if the answer is yes, what opportunities for self-development does it offer?

On October 1st, workforce transformation guru Chuck Hamilton will join Karen Chiang and Steven Forth to discuss how we can rebuild our workforces so that they can be more resilient and more adaptive. Our fireside chat will be at Workforce Transformation Online. Preliminary results from the Ibbaka Skills for the Future of Work survey will be shared.

Trust is the glue that lets us work together. It is a skill, a critical skill even? What other skills might trust depend on? What skills does trust enable? Can we help each other to learn how to trust?

The skills we need to develop resilience and adaptation are changing. Ibbaka is researching the critical skills we will need for the future of work. Please share your ideas with us.

The past months have put a lot of stress on our organizations, challenging us at first to show resilience and increasingly to adapt. At the same time, cost controls are pushing us to be more efficient. How can we manage the tensions between these, what do these imply for skill and competency management?

Will the experience of Covid 19, physical isolation, working from home and the associated economic disruption change how we work? If it will, HR and talent management will also need to change. And this will impact our skills and competencies. Share your thoughts on how HR, talent management and critical skills will change after Covid 19.

The ground on which the competitive game is played is shifting under us. Understanding, developing and applying skills is an organizational imperative.
