Demand Driven Skills Model

Why do you need to manage skills in your company?

A lack of alignment in a company's skill bases can slow down or even stop flow. The Demand Driven Skills Model (DDSM) enables a company to decide where to locate and how to size skill buffers based on the Demand Driven logic and depending on desired strategic priorities. It gives visibility on the multi-skills of all employees, including top management and values those that promote and protect flow and accelerate ROI.

The DDSM encourages the effective management of human capital through the transmission of knowledge, continuous improvement of products and processes, and integration of innovations in the Demand Driven Operating Model.

This Workshop is right for you if you are facing issues like:

  • Your flows are at risk because some skills are missing
  • Silos between departments interrupt or disrupt flow
  • You don’t know how to prioritize training to better protect flow
  • Managers don’t have the time to train or trainers are not recognized
  • Innovations are seen as disruptive to processes

Join the DDSM Workshop over two half-days and learn how to:

  • Spot the holes in your multi-skills matrix to draw your competency map
  • Measure the level of expertise of your departments
  • Monitor maturity of change by transverse processes that support flow
  • Clarify the roles of manager versus trainer to value knowledge
  • Align strategy with competitivity and competency

Everyone who wants to

  • learn more about skill buffers based on the Demand Driven logic
  • get visibility on multi-skills of employees
  • find a starting point for the company to initiate the transmission of knowledge, continuous improvement of products and processes, and integration of innovations based on the Demand Driven Operating Model.

There is no pre-requisite needed to understand the DDSM and to implement it.

It is a useful first step to start a successful Demand Driven journey, listed in the co-branded simulations and workshops of the Demand Driven Institute website.

This workshop is available in French, English and German.
