Referencing the LinkedIn 2018 Workplace Learning Report (51 page PDF) Steven Forth points to "the growing importance of skill management." Though it sounds like a fairly obvious thing to address, skills management is a moving target. "It depends on two things," writes Forth, "both of which most companies struggle with: What skills do we have now and how are we using them? What skills will we need in the future?" Forth's article is ultimately a plug for TeamFit, a corporate team-building application based on blending skill sets. The question is: how much more is there to team-building beyond gathering the required skills? Easpecially when, as the LinkedIn report says, "training for soft skills is the #1 priority for talent development in 2018."
