#115 - Dr. Sandra Loughlin - The Data, Tasks, & Skills Needed for a Skills-Based Future

Dr. Sandra Loughlin, the Chief Learning Scientist at EPAM systems, joins the Directionally Correct podcast to discuss what data is necessary to understand the tasks and skills necessary to create a skills-based organization. In this episode, we discuss Sandra’s reactions to our recent episode with Marc Effron and the skills hype, skills being half the equation with the other half being tasks, what it’s like switching from being a professor moving into industry, Sandra’s superpower of getting people to do hard things, and more conversation about poop and the microbiome than what you’d expect. You’ll want to check out this episode of the #1 people analytics podcast!
