Josh Bersin Associates continue their very good work looking at developments in the skills and competencies taxonomy industry. "Every new recruiting tool (Eightfold, Avature, iCims) builds a skills taxonomy around job postings. Every learning tool (EdCast, Degreed, Cornerstone, Fuse, Docebo) builds a skills database to index, find, and recommend content. And all the talent marketplace platforms (Gloat, Hitch, Fuel50, and others) build skills databases." This post looks at EdCast, and divides the offering into three products: a skills graph, a skills studio "that lets you view, edit, and manage skills and job hierarchy", and analytics and reporting tools. There's a lot of AI behind the scenes, "using the EdCast Skills Studio to 'train' and 'untrain' the taxonomy... This, by the way, is what Microsoft Viva Topics does for documents and business processes. It monitors activity and continuously improves it's 'topic index' engine."
