What’s Your Plan for Skill Development?
With the business landscape shifting rapidly, we don’t need to tell you how important career progression and skill development are to your current and future employees. The real question is… what are you going to do about it?
Will you embark on skills building for… critical thinking, leadership, digital, soft skills, communication, management, AI, coaching, or something else? The list of possibilities is endless. The problem is — without a clear plan for skill development, it’s impossible to know what roles or skills to focus on so that you can be strategic and effective.
Every organisation needs a plan for identifying skills gaps, providing meaningful learning and development opportunities, and ensuring employee engagement and motivation.
And that’s where Skills Builder comes in.

The Learning Uncut Skills Builder Process
No matter where you are in your skills journey, this structured, strategic approach will enable you to build skills so that both your employees and your organisation can grow and achieve goals.
Phase 1
Co-design a Custom Skills Framework
Set a clear purpose for your skills framework. Determine the scope of the skills approach that aligns with your business — this could be enterprise critical skills, job family, or role-based. Next, co-design and review the framework with your teams.
Phase 2
Implement the Framework
Determine a suitable testing method, plan how your employees will use the skills framework, then test the framework with your employees. Ensure you iterate and adjust the framework based on feedback.
Phase 3
Develop a Skills Toolkit
Build out your skills toolkit and templates according to your purpose, organisation’s needs, ecosystem, and scope of your skills approach. This skills development toolkit will equip your employees to develop the skills identified in your skills framework.

FAQs
Do you offer custom skills solutions?
Yes. We know that the context of every organisation and its learning needs can vary. We’ll always start with a free consultation to discuss your current and future needs so that we can tailor a learning solution to suit.
What kinds of organisations do you work with?
No matter the size of your organisation or the industry you’re in, you need to continually invest in skills development. That’s why we work with all kinds of organisations around the globe, with clients in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the U.S., and beyond. You don’t need to be in the same geographical location as your Learning Uncut consultant, as all work can be completed remotely. Plus, our Skills Builder process easily scales to teams of all sizes, as well as multiple teams within an enterprise.
How long does Skills Builder take to implement?
Our timing depends on the scale and pace of your organisation — but in general, phase 1 (skills framework) takes around 3-4 weeks to complete, while phase 2 (implementation) can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Finally, phase 3 (skills toolkit) typically takes an additional 4-5 weeks. On top of this, you should expect to revisit the phases from time to time, iterating and adjusting as needed.
