1:20 PM CASE STUDY: Understanding the Learning Priorities of the Workforce and Implementing a Diverse Learning Management System
The new machinery government changes have merged the Department of Planning and Environment with the Department of Industry, renaming the combined body the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. This will shift the workforce and require new strategies to drive business development. The implementation of LinkedIn Learning in the Department of Industry aims to fill learning gaps with the use of diverse, flexible learning. With this recent role out the aim is to have at least 70% uptake within the first 6-12 months of this new method to upskill and train the workforce.
In this session:
- Utilising LinkedIn Learning in the workforce plan to drive business development
- Implementing a capability framework approach to learning to manage the merge of departments
- Driving effective communication to incorporate LinkedIn Learning to the current Learning Management System

3:50 PM SPEAKER PANEL: Understanding the Future Work Environment and the Move Towards Soft Skill Requirements
The emerging changes in operational workforce planning require an analysis on the existing workforce to create strategies that will impact the future of skills and capabilities. Hard skills are teachable and measurable abilities whereas soft skills are the traits that make a good employee. Both soft skill and hard skill are being built into workforce planning to fill in the gaps of future role and capabilities. The aim is to strengthen the leaders of the future and align their strengths to achieve strategic goals of the organisation.
In this session:
- Incorporating soft skills capabilities into strategic workforce planning to develop a future ready operating environment
- Focusing on behavioural skills rather than technical skills to fill gaps in role capabilities
- Understanding how soft skills will influence future leaders
