"Skills can be a very objective, quantifiable measure of capability and proficiency. We’re able to use skills data as an input into workforce planning decisions, where we take a lot of different data sets, and we align that to business strategy. With Cisco being a large, complex global organization, this strategy will allow us to be nimble and very intentional about our workforce planning decisions."
