In episode 32 of the Surveying the L&D Landscape podcast, I sit down with Jarron Rice to analyze his role as Global Skills Lead at Deer & Co. (AKA John Deer).
During our conversation, we unpack:
How defining and measuring “skills” typically depend on your customer/client/user and the use case;
The importance of change management skills for implementing new HR/talent technologies with buy-in + adoption across the organization;
Talent Marketplaces as a means to solve a number of challenges – identifying skills people hold across the organization, creating career pathways, getting more work done, and facilitating mentorship, networking, and development opportunities;
And so much more!
ABOUT THE GUEST:
Jarron Rice is a leader in the learning & skills technology space. After spending years focused on technology process improvement & change management, he stumbled his way into an L&D role in 2019 and never looked back.During his relatively short tenure in L&D, Jarron has had the opportunity to drive innovation and change on every team he’s been a part of. He’s had the opportunity to experience and lead a variety of technology & platform implementations including learning experience platforms, cohort-style learning platforms, talent/skills intelligence tools, and talent marketplaces. This has given him firsthand experience with the career development ecosystem of an organization – expertise he leverages daily in his work at John Deere as their Global Skills Lead, where he is responsible for their enterprise skills strategy, skills data governance, and internal talent marketplace.
