Ilja Bitterling shares Deutsche Telekom’s journey from rudimentary skill management to a fully integrated, skill-powered talent ecosystem. Rather than starting with isolated initiatives, Telekom took a bold, holistic approach – embedding skills into every major talent process from day one. The key insight: to unlock the full potential of skill data, it must first create tangible value for employees. By aligning skills with career growth, internal mobility, and cross-border collaboration, Telekom is reshaping how the business develops and deploys talent across more than 100,000 employees.
Key Takeaways:
- Why traditional skill management efforts often fail to engage the workforce
- How embedding skills into recruiting, learning, and staffing delivers impact
- The role of skills in supporting internal mobility and global teamwork
- What it takes to scale a skill-based strategy across a complex, global organization
