Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat Wrap) I've got so many skills-related things coming! Besides consulting with orgs that needs skills help, I've got workshops coming and my book you can already pre-order! www.amazon.com/Building-Ski...

#learnchat A7) Skills-based learning strategies stay relevant if they are 1. effective for building the skills targeted, and 2. relevant to the work to be done. Making sure you're actually building skills, and the skills are needed, is how to stay relevant

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A6) but truly, organizations need to focus on building better insights into skills and being transparent with assessments and data with employees. Any org that doesn't do that will create confusion and distrust. Skills is really a culture shift.

#learnchat A6) My next book is going to be on building expertise in the age of AI - it's really NOT about every skill you have, but what you're particularly good at. As work changes with AI, this is going to be even more important. (Yes, I know, my skills book hasn't even come out yet...)

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A6) I have so many thoughts on this...but the most important thing orgs can do, no matter how they collect data on skills, is BE TRANSPARENT. No one wants some arbitrary assessment of their skills, or for assessments to be made without their input.

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A5) To make personalization really work, everything needs to be relevant - context, skills needed, proficiency level, assessment of progress. Plus! The more personalized something is, the less generalized data we get as L&D folks to learn from...

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A5) ahhh, personalized learning paths - to really work, you need to know where you're starting from, and what good looks like at the end. AI is making it easier to contextualize learning to make it more personalized, but hyperpersonalization means having baseline data

020

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A4) Written and verbal communication are often looked at outside of work contexts, but as a leader, someone who can clearly articulate a problem, potential solutions, their recommendation and impact is priceless. Getting specific with tasks and success metrics is key

133

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A4) Figuring out the human skills that are most important for your organizational culture is a good first step. Every org values different things, and being clear about what's important in your org helps everyone

010

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A3) there's also a difference between technical/job skills and human skills - lots of jobs focus on the technical skills required for the job, but it's often the human skills that differentiate folks who are successful from those who struggle

130

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A3) Ha! Almost every job I've ever had, my skills were more important than my job description! I think most orgs struggle to make job descriptions accurate/relevant over time.

010

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A2) The real question is what assessments/input would you (or me or anyone) trust to be an accurate picture of your skills. This is something that becomes really important in skills...what data do you trust?

120

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A2) Measuring/assessing skills is definitely not something most people or orgs are good at! Asking for feedback and taking advantage of opportunities for assessment are things I focus on myself.

001

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat A1) Honestly, most corporate training/learning SHOULD be skills-based; you should definitely know what skills you are helping people build to improve, not just what you want them to know. Except maybe sexual harassment training...

it may be hard to believe, but Nacho learned how to put his toys away in his toy basket this week! #learnchat

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

#learnchat Q1. A skills-based approach to learning for me is thinking about how what you are learning directly applies to work/tasks to be done. If a skill is "a thing can do" then skills-based learning is focused on how to do a work thing or task.

Q0) Koreen Pagano from Carpinteria, CA, I consult with organizations on product and skills-related things. I have a book coming out this year on building Skills-Based Organizations. Unfortunately I learned a lot about pneumonia this week :( #learnchat

When I’m on vacation outside of the US and I meet other Americans, I can immediately tell if they’re from the Midwest.

Koreen Pagano @kpagano.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

First vacation in two years and so this is mainly going to be it for the next 5 days, if you were wondering.

Maybe we socially hold the Jan 6 traitors accountable by ensuring they are unemployable, undatable, etc. I’m ok with the court of public opinion when the actual courts are overruled.
