Learning Pool introduces AI-based skills solution
Learning Pool has launched a new product ahead of its 14th annual Learning Pool Live user conference. The release will leverage the know-how of People-Analytix, a Swiss based pioneer in AI-powered skills technology, who were recently acquired by Learning Pool.
The shift to put skills at the centre of Learning Pool’s technology offering is a wider reflection of the change the learning technologies company has seen in learning technologies in recent times. Learning Pool said the pivot to skills is not a temporary fad, but a fundamental shift in the way we think about talent and development. The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, as many as 50% of all workers will need reskilling. To address this global issue, skills development can no longer be satisfied by being simply reactive.
“Every global enterprise is struggling to attract and retain skilled employees, and the widening skills gaps that are stopping businesses from growing at the pace they desire are apparent in every boardroom conversation,” said Ben Betts, Learning Pool CEO. “Learning Pool’s acquisition of People-Analytix, and the subsequent advancements it will bring to our platform, means that we can now give customers the power to automatically address skills gaps as they appear. It is a tremendously exciting technology and a fundamental component in our wider mission to support talent development in creating extraordinary performers.”
Forming a key part of the Learning Pool platform, customers will use the latest release to assess the current skills within their organisation, plan for the future and close the gap through Learning Pool’s platform and content libraries.
Betts continued, “Our latest release is powered by the incredible AI that People-Analytix and their partners have been developing over the better part of the past decade. The work the team have done has been lauded as one of the smartest ‘skill cloud’ executions available in the market today, and that’s been backed up with real-world success stories.”
In addition to benefiting from People-Analytix technology, Learning Pool will also be strengthening its ranks of skills and data experts, led by Christoph Küffer, co-founder and CEO of People-Analytix, who joins the Learning Pool management team.
Küffer said: “We are excited to take our shared passion for innovation and customer centricity forward to build the future of enterprise learning. Current skills solutions in the market use relatively basic taxonomy not reflecting the current market developments. At the heart of our solution is a unique AI-powered ontology built over 10 years with human guidance. This sets us apart and is why it has the power to revolutionise how organisations manage their approach. Reporting around skills and skills progress can be used for organisational planning and developing and measuring learning and development strategies, making a powerful impact on business goals.‘’
