The network\u2019s L&D offerings were too disconnected, so the team decided to make some changes. \u201cWe really wanted to feel more like one entity when it comes to talent,\u201d an L&D leader said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/UGqRL9_NbZ09NzsX_qXqzDIo6zmqakjmc0sqoSxlKOGSa8ELoGdx8Zo5iWjVlNlFW4tlXU3SJeJkOpXu6iDN8cinr9c92Mkmhnen3QJXKQB0-zO_cbn4MxUNflCK7D0F6GQBL1hx\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just one year later, knowledge is flowing smoothly across the organization, and the L&D team is pioneering a sophisticated skill strategy. Three pivotal moves powered this talent transformation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Unify a Scattered System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not long ago, the organization\u2019s learning strategy was limited by each member firm\u2019s independence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a federated model,\u201d the L&D leader said, noting the organization has dozens of firms. \u201cEverybody can choose what background technology they use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those unique choices caused technical difficulties; employees could not access each other\u2019s resources. The organization needed a solution that could integrate diverse tools. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the reasons why Degreed was so great for us,\u201d the L&D leader said. \u201cWe wanted to have an organization that could share content a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization started with a broad launch of its Degreed platform, inviting early adopters worldwide. L&D identified subject matter experts (SMEs) after the initial launch. They collected feedback from these leaders, brought them together in communities of practice, and leveraged their expertise through Pathways that anyone across the company could access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Enable Collaboration and Empowerment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To take advantage of its new integrated learning platform, the organization had to change its learning culture. \u201cWhen I first started the community of practice, the firms were very, very hesitant to share with each other,\u201d the L&D leader said. \u201cIt was like pulling teeth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, all of the member firms got on board, sharing at least one Pathway with their international partners. L&D watched as this wealth of knowledge swayed the skeptics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow I have countries reaching out to me, saying, \u2018Hey, do we have a Pathway on this?\u2019\u201d the L&D leader said. \u201cAnd when the sharing isn\u2019t set up yet, they\u2019re like, \u2018Do you know what the hold up is on that Pathway?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L&D had to adjust its approach, too. \u201cL&D teams of the past were the ones who built content all the time,\u201d the L&D leader said. \u201cWe are definitely moving away from that, to really empower our employees.\u201d The learning team put more effort into curating, building templates, and supporting SMEs who wanted to share their expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/1HIdgvL3-j07-y4X9Ki7cnW9y6KsJF0exTsVbDwoRyZzXKDgGjWr-kn9BvursMBKKprjL7VeQOWOl2OzBASiOczf3ryh-gKleE2m6JloBq-JVz49Bt275rkYcRREcFa3aAr2spJ7\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Track Skills and High Performers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization is looking to L&D to prepare for the future. Using data from Degreed, it can better understand the skills in the organization and the actions of top performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One element of this effort is a pilot program that\u2019s building Pathways that promote experiential learning. The program also connects to Credly to confer digital credentials. L&D expects this to power greater internal mobility for employees throughout the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnce you have the Pathways, the skills identified, and all of the practice time, then they get their badge,\u201d the L&D leader said. \u201cThen, what opportunities are available for them to move into?\u201d To answer that question, the organization is <a href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/when-the-competency-model-breaks-down-map-skills-roles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">mapping skills to specific roles<\/a>. This will create targeted opportunities for individuals and scalable efficiencies for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is also working to understand how some employees have already succeeded in using <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/degreed.com\/experience\/blog\/what-is-xapi\/\" target=\"_blank\">xAPI<\/a> data from Degreed and the firms\u2019 learning management systems to analyze the activity of top employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe hope,\u201d the L&D leader said, \u201cis to identify those high performers and really see what they\u2019re doing, then replicate that throughout the firms.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*The organization featured in this case study has asked to remain anonymous.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To operate smoothly, one of the world\u2019s top professional services organizations must carefully balance independence with cooperation.&nbsp; The organization* functions as a global network, not a single firm, because decentralization helps it navigate complex regulatory frameworks in many different countries.
