Skills-Based Organization & Skills Architecture

Transforma helps you shift from job-title-based talent decisions to a skills-based model that scales with change. We build a practical skills architecture—clear, consistent, and usable—so you can anticipate capability needs, identify skill gaps, and make smarter decisions across hiring, development, internal mobility, and workforce planning. The result is a more agile organization where talent is deployed to the work that matters most.

What’s included

• Skills strategy and scope — Define priority job families, critical capabilities, and how skills will be used.
• Skills architecture design — Develop a skills taxonomy and common language aligned to your business strategy.
• Role-to-skill mapping — Map skills to roles to clarify what “good” looks like and where gaps exist across the workforce.
• Skills gap and capability analysis — Identify current vs. future skill needs, emerging capabilities, and workforce risk areas using data-informed analysis.
• Build/Buy/Borrow planning — Create practical pathways to close gaps through hiring, redeployment, contractors/partners, and targeted upskilling.
• Career pathways and internal mobility — Define progression routes and skill-based career moves to improve retention and workforce flexibility.
• Enablement and integration — Manager guidance, templates, and recommended integration points with recruiting, learning, performance, and HR technology.
