Skillsoft Helps Managers Turn Skills Intelligence Into Business Execution

New AI-powered Insights Dashboards give managers real-time visibility into team capabilities, verified skill gaps, and talent alignment to close gaps, reduce risk, and accelerate outcomes

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Skillsoft (NYSE: SKIL), a leading AI-native skills management platform, today announced an unprecedented level of skills visibility for teams, giving managers real-time skills intelligence and a clearer view of workforce readiness. Unlike tools that rely on static skill profiles and learning completions, the manager-level and compliance risk dashboards within the Skillsoft Percipio Platform use AI to match the right talent to projects based on verified skills. Managers move beyond completion rates to align verified skills to the work that matters most.

According to Skillsoft's Workforce Readiness Report, only 11% of organizations use formal skills assessments, and 69% of employees lack clarity on which skills matter most for success. Compounding the problem, the majority rely on disconnected Learning Management Systems (LMSs) that track training completion but don't connect skills data to workforce planning or execution. Skillsoft gives managers a real-time view of their team's skills, embedding project-based decision making directly into the flow of work. Managers can see who is ready, who needs development, and how teams are building and applying high-demand AI skills, so they can close gaps before projects stall or compliance exposure puts the business at risk.

"These dashboards put skills intelligence directly in the hands of the people accountable for results,” said Bernie Barbour, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Skillsoft. “Managers can now see what skills their teams have, identify what needs to be built, and deploy the right people to the right work. Our open ecosystem ensures those insights flow directly into the systems teams rely on, creating a continuous link between development, deployment, and performance. That's what moves organizations from tracking completions to driving outcomes, especially in fast-evolving areas like AI.”

Available now within Skillsoft’s skills management platform, these dashboards enable users to:

• Act on real talent data, not assumptions. Gain insight into what teams can deliver today and what's in development, benchmarking performance against industry peers and planning with confidence instead of waiting on reports.
• Close skill gaps and reduce risk. Get visibility into where employees are falling behind, where there is compliance or execution risk, and where targeted training will have the most impact.
• Put the right people on the right work. Match team members to projects based on verified skills proficiency, accelerating execution and improving outcomes.

Built native to Skillsoft’s unified skills management platform, the dashboards are a critical component of Skillsoft's Skills Supply Chain™, a continuous system for identifying, building, and deploying skills at scale to drive business outcomes. By connecting learning, development, and skills intelligence in a single experience, they give organizations what legacy LMS platforms were never designed to deliver: a structured way to see what skills exist, close the skills gaps that carry the most risk, and match the right people to the right work. This release builds on recent AI innovations including our award winning personalized conversation simulator (CAISY^®) and custom content creation (LXDS^®).
