What is a Skills Cloud?
A skills cloud is a centralized, dynamic database of employee skills, competencies, and capabilities within an organization, often powered by AI to map relationships between skills, roles, and opportunities.
Unlike static skills inventories, skills clouds continuously update through employee input, performance data, project assignments, and learning activities. This technology enables skills-based talent management including internal mobility, project staffing, learning recommendations, succession planning, and workforce capability analysis.
Skills clouds help organizations understand workforce capabilities, identify skill gaps, match talent to opportunities, and support career development. As organizations shift toward skills-based approaches, skills clouds provide the data infrastructure necessary for agile talent deployment and strategic workforce planning.
