Skill taxonomies take time to create and maintain. We're experimenting with AI to help us build taxonomies and turn them into outlines to build learning experiences. Is there anything specific to taxonomies you'd like to see us explore in our next post?
Taylor Blake this looks interesting / familiar.

Are these AI generated skills market standards ? If yes, then would like to see connections between skills ( perhaps at all levels of taxonomy tree) to market standard job profiles and perhaps ultimately to free learning courses available on YouTube or any other edtech platforms. And this might look like a monetization opportunity. 😉
Developing employees as a manager! I’ve been fortunate to work for some great managers, but afaik the data says this is not the norm. It’d be fantastic to have a taxonomy of the concrete skills required to coach, give feedback, run one-on-ones, encourage awareness, elicit reflection, strengthen motivation, foster collaboration, sponsor growth, etc.
I’m curious to see how will the taxonomy be arranged? Usually taxonomies could be built for individual employees, roles, overall teams or other levels. I’d be interested to see how we arrange and use the data if we create skills taxonomies at an individual employee level. Maybe considering two cases : a small 150 people startup vs a global organisation with around 10,000+ people. The ease of utility is where a challenge lies.
I would like to see how skills can be normalized/harmonized across different HR technologies given some challenges we face with APIs or integrations. In addition, I am interested to learn more about how AI can assist with routinely updating the skills taxonomy while keeping skills owners notified when skills that were deemed to be critical are changing.
We are working on integrating different sources of taxonomies in our tool to have an open library to be used for customisation. AI can facilitate and be a “translator” to reconciliate different definitions of the same skills. Our approach is enabling users to reuse and customise instead of creating from scratch. What your approach on that?
Taylor Blake this is great! Possible to share taxanomy for employability skill - Students transitioning from Colleges to jobs? Will this be different for different entry level roles? Also, what will be the taxanomy for employees transitioning from IC to Managers, from team manager to function head, from function head to Organisation head?
Taylor, thanks for this. Would love to see the most common or universal metadata tags that are portable across taxonomies regardless of proprietary or open.

7moThink about optimization tas for near- or re-skilling. E.g. your organization needs ~100 new people in role X that you can't hire. What are the options (and best options) for you to re-skill some roles that you have and what you can hire? There will be a challenge to think about the optimal path and estimate the difficulty or obtaining a skill (a proxy for skill value). Right now you have the chart where everything is structured and equal, but it is really a case.
