We will be there. And if you are contemplating the introduction of skills management in your organization, so should you.

On June 14/15, probably the most comprehensive discussion of the year on skills management in the DACH region will take place. Organized by the German Association for Human Resource Management (DGFP), fully online and open to non-DGFP members.

The immediate value of skills management is usually clear to organizations. The practical steps to implement it often are not. We try to provide as much valuable information as possible in our articles (e.g. on the basics of skills-based practices or on the distinction from Strategic Workforce Planning). But the fact remains that every organization has its own reality and solutions need to be adapted. This is why the DGFP Skill Management Conference is so valuable. It focuses on real-world examples and pragmatists as presenters. You can also take advantage of breakout sessions and networking for more in-depth learning. The explicit goal of the conference is to give each person practical and actionable tips.
