In a recent episode of the HR business marketing podcast, A Better HR Business, Ben spoke with Robin Adda, Founder of SkillAssess, about how AI is revolutionizing the way we identify, address, and close skills gaps.
NOTE: Register for Robin’s upcoming panel discussion on AI for HR & L&D.
In a world where technology continues to accelerate at a staggering pace, organizations are wrestling with an ever-expanding skills gap. Traditional one-size-fits-all training simply can’t keep up, and neither can businesses that fail to innovate.
Robin is best known as the founder of GTS Learning, a global training content company eventually acquired by CompTIA. He’s a seasoned entrepreneur with a career full of innovation, resilience, and more than a few fascinating war stories, including a legendary legal showdown with Apple in the 1980s that he actually won.
He recently captured his entrepreneurial journey in his new book, “The Bumpy Road to Success”, which is packed with business lessons, war stories, and moments of real insight.
Now, Robin is on a mission to reinvent workforce development with his latest venture, SkillsAssess, an AI-powered platform designed to pinpoint skills gaps and deliver truly personalized learning plans for businesses and training professionals.
Current statistics reveal that as much as 30% of the UK’s workforce lacks the skills necessary for their jobs. The implications stretch far beyond HR and they impact overall productivity, business agility, and organizational innovation.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Robin and Ben talked about:
- How leaders can build and maintain resilience during challenging times.
- The risks of one-size-fits-all training and why unnecessary learning can hurt both employees and organizations.
- The opportunities and challenges AI brings to HR and L&D, especially in personalizing learning and skills assessments.
- What sets SkillsAssess apart from traditional e-learning platforms, and how its approach uniquely addresses skills gaps.
- Why SkillsAssess’s flexible, content-agnostic design is a game-changer for HR leaders seeking more autonomy.
- How technology can help align training with mission, vision, and values to drive real organizational impact.
- The future of workforce development — and how HR professionals can prepare for what’s coming next.
Thanks, Robin!
