Companies are rapidly adopting a skills-based approach to better meet current and future challenges, as it promises greater agility, efficiency, and a streamlined process for matching people to work. Focusing solely on skills risks missing the mark by oversimplifying the rich, complex nature of human potential. The heartfelt plea of your employees needs to be considered: I am more than just my skills!
According to Accenture companies that achieve “Higher, Better, Faster” outcomes embrace continuous transformation, elevating organizational performance, enhancing the employee experience, and accelerating change processes to stay agile and competitive. Here’s a closer look at how each of these outcomes supports resilient, high-performing organizations—and how tru® helps make them a reality.
The rise of skills-based organizations has set the stage for more dynamic, agile, and personalized work environments. By aligning high-priority skills with the deepest needs, roles, and values of individuals and teams, organizations can unlock a powerful synergy that drives performance, engagement, and satisfaction.
Most companies have an inadequate view of their employees’ inner motives – what drives their energy and satisfaction and makes work more fulfilling. Without this insight, skills development might run headfirst into resistance or misalignment. In the worst-case scenario, employee burnout and high turnover can emerge.
As organizations increasingly adopt agile business models to stay competitive, quick and seamless transitions become critical. When managers fluidly move throughout the organization to address shifting needs, there is a very real risk that such adaptive management practices may leave individual employees in the rearview mirror.
Thriving organizations recognize the importance of developing the next generation of leaders. Individuals with high potential and the capacity to influence are the backbone of sustainable growth and innovation. Building these leaders from within is not just a competitive advantage; it’s a necessity.

Redeploying workers who are impacted by AI is a strategic necessity and is crucial for maintaining employee morale, fostering a culture of adaptability, and ensuring long-term organizational success.

Business leaders seeking a competitive edge often take a skills-centric approach to find, develop, and keep top talent and to establish the agility required to keep up with the pace of change. Companies who help their employees carve out a career path that best matches their unique strengths and motivations will fare better than those who leave it to their employees to figure out which paths to pursue.
