How are you transforming your approach to talent development in technology teams to foster continuous learning and adaptability in a rapidly changing tech landscape?

We recently updated all of our job descriptions and redefined career paths for our technology team members to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of what the expectations are for them today and for the next level in terms of career progression. The Gartner job description templates were very useful in helping us complete these rewrites.   

We've also asked one of our Senior Managers on the Software Engineering team to conduct a skills gap analysis which is going to identify where our organization needs additional focus.  The intent is to fill gaps through a combination or training, mentoring and potentially new hires.  With the rapid changes to the tech landscape, we are planning to update the skills gap analysis at least annually.

We have adopted and developed our skill enhancement framework to help team members choose, learn and apply 2 new skills each year.

We embrace a "growth mindset" – failed experiments from hackathons or internal innovation challenges become springboards for team learning and iteration. This fosters a culture of continuous improvement and risk-taking.
