Skills-First Workshop for Business Leaders
Event Synopsis
The Skills-First Workshop for Business Leaders is a three-hour interactive workshop taking place on 17 November 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, designed for approximately 40 participants.
Through facilitated discussions, hands-on activities and a guided A3 transformation canvas, participants will explore how a Skills-First approach can help them connect their business priorities with the workforce capabilities needed to deliver them. The workshop also provides participants with an opportunity to experience the early stages of the Enterprise Workforce Transformation Programme (EWTP) consulting journey, learn from Savills' Skills-First transformation experience, and discover the support and resources available through SBF, including the free EWTP diagnostic.
Rather than simply learning about Skills-First concepts, participants will apply the approach to their own business context, identify practices most relevant to their organisation, and leave with a clearer understanding of their potential next steps.
Why Should I Attend?
Learn how to start with your organisation's business goals and translate them into the critical skills and workforce capabilities required to achieve them.
Use the A3 transformation canvas to examine how well your organisation can define, see, trust and use the skills already within its workforce.
Compare the conventional approach of starting with hiring or training with a Skills-First approach that begins with the business outcome and considers interventions such as job redesign and internal mobility.
Work through the early stages of an EWTP-style consulting journey and leave with your own Skills-First transformation canvas.
Hear from Savills about why it started its journey, what it discovered, how it approached transformation and what comes next.
The workshop concludes with the EWTP route, including a free EWTP diagnostic, helping companies understand how they can continue their transformation journey with SBF.
