Skillsoft has launched the general availability of its next-generation Skillsoft Percipio® Platform, an AI-native solution that integrates learning with comprehensive skills management. This platform addresses the accelerating skills disruption driven by AI, enabling enterprises to map, develop, measure, and align workforce capabilities to business outcomes for enhanced readiness in the human + AI era.
Rapid AI-driven transformation is reshaping industries and roles, rendering many existing skills obsolete while new requirements emerge. Global research indicates that roughly 40% of core workplace skills will change by 2030. Despite substantial investments in learning, organizations frequently lack insight into whether these efforts translate into actual workforce capability, proficiency, or performance impact.
Leaders struggle with fundamental questions: What skills exist today? Where are the emerging gaps? How should priorities be set? And how does development connect to business results? These challenges highlight the shift from content-focused learning to strategic skills management.
Ron Hovsepian, Chief Executive Officer of Skillsoft, stated: “Customers are telling us the challenge is bigger than simply access to learning. The challenge is knowing whether their workforce is ready for what’s next. As work changes faster, organizations need clarity and results. They need to understand which skills matter, where they stand today, and how their talent development connects to real outcomes. That shift is driving the move toward end-to-end skills management.”
High-quality learning content remains foundational, but without integration to skills visibility and measurable outcomes, it often fails to deliver the required business impact. Activity metrics do not equate to proficiency, confidence, or on-the-job performance, especially as roles evolve rapidly. Employees and executives increasingly demand learning that is personalized, role-specific, and directly applicable.
Survey data reveals widespread uncertainty: Only 10% of HR and L&D leaders express full confidence in workforce skills sufficiency for near-term goals, while fewer than one in four organizations have a unified view of capabilities. Skills management bridges this divide by making skills visible, trackable, and actionable throughout the learning lifecycle, enabling precise alignment with strategic priorities and informed workforce planning.
Gavin McQuillan, Head of Learning and Development at NatWest, noted: “Learning creates value when skills are visible and actionable across the business. That means understanding the skills we have, the capabilities the work requires, and how learning can close that gap. Skillsoft helps us connect learning to skills development and workforce decisions so we can adapt as needs change.”
The updated Percipio Platform unifies learning and skills management into one cohesive environment, providing organizations with clear visibility into capability, targeted development, and demonstrable impact.
Key features include:
By enabling proactive identification and closure of skills gaps through targeted development rather than reactive hiring, the platform maximizes existing talent value and directs learning investments with precision.
The general availability of this next-generation Skillsoft Percipio Platform positions organizations to strengthen workforce readiness, adapt to AI-accelerated change, and achieve stronger connections between talent development and business performance.
