Driving strategic growth in brand new capabilities
Our customer is a global leader in standards and technical certification with over 80,000 customers and 5,000 employees. They partnered with Simply to identify and secure the skills required to drive growth, secure market leadership and realise their bold ambitions in new business areas.
Following the appointment of a new CEO, the company updated its strategy. They accelerated efforts to build capability in sustainability, artificial intelligence and digital transformation. This included investment in the aggressive growth of high-potential service lines with the ambition of market leadership in these areas.
The problem? These were new business areas with new capability and skill needs. They needed to define the skills they needed, so that they could effectively execute their strategic plan. New workforce plans were required to drive talent acquisition efforts. As ever, timescales were tight. Without data, insight and tools, the lead time to secure the right resources would be too long.
They needed insight to identify, retain, develop and hire critical skills across the enterprise. They selected Simply as their Rightskilling Platform provider and partner, with a multi-year subscription sponsored at Board level.
