SFIA6: Using skills to leverage

your biggest asset – people(Skills Framework for the Information Age)

Skills Framework for the Information Age is owned by the

SFIA Foundation www.sfia-online.org



Synopsis

More and more organisations are using the Skills Framework for the

Information Age (SFIA) to keep track of the skills they have and the

skills they need to obtain.

This session will demonstrate how easy it is for organisations to

understand their ICT skills gaps, how to address the gap, and how to

create skills-based role profiles and job descriptions.

Attendees will learn from case studies that show how organisations

have used SFIA to target skills needing development and optimise

the skill sets of your greatest asset: your people.
