The Skills Revolution: Your Playbook for Workforce Agility (an Interview with Ravin Jesuthasan and Brian Fisher)

Is your workforce strategy stuck in the past?

As AI accelerates and traditional job structures show their age, more companies are asking a fundamental question: Are we organising work the right way? Which is why, in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David and his guests explore why skills-based workforce planning has surged to the top of the HR agenda - and what leading companies are doing to turn intent into action.

Joining David are Ravin Jesuthasan, Senior Partner and Global Leader for Transformation Services at Mercer, and co-author of The Skills-Powered Organization, and Brian Fisher, Global Solutions Lead for Skills, Jobs and Careers at Mercer, and co-author of Mercer’s Skills Snapshot Survey.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why jobs are no longer the ideal unit for workforce planning, and why skills are taking centre stage

How to align mindset, skillset and toolset to drive lasting transformation

The role of pilots and internal marketplaces in delivering measurable business impact

What AI is changing about the definition, demand and shelf life of skills

The three core capabilities every organisation must build to sustain a skills-powered strategy

How leading companies are connecting skills to ROI, workforce agility, and employee growth

This episode is sponsored by Mercer.

To thrive in an AI-augmented world, organisations must rethink how work gets done. Mercer’s Work Design solution uses AI to deconstruct jobs, redeploy tasks, and redesign work for greater agility, productivity, and impact.
