Employee Activation - Episode #11: Richard Pedley on how skills strategy is reinventing L&D

Описание: For years, corporate learning has been synonymous with mandatory training modules and bloated course libraries. But what happens when L&D stops being a box-ticking function — and starts driving real workforce transformation?

In this episode of Employee Activation, we sit down with Richard Pedley, former head of talent experience at Fidelity, to unpack how the skills agenda is redefining the future of learning and development. With nearly two decades of experience in talent strategy, Richard has led one of the most ambitious internal skills transformations in recent memory, mapping capabilities across 10,000 employees and turning insight into action.

He argues that the first step is treating people like the critical business assets they are — pointing out that most companies know more about the chair an employee sits on than the skills and potential of the person sitting in it. It’s time to flip that script.

If you’re an HR or L&D leader tired of chasing course completions and ready to start solving real business problems, this conversation will light the path forward.
