Pluralsight’s mission aims to improve the global tech workforce. Our mission requires us to adapt to the changing world.
Pluralsight is evolving today with the release of solutions – built to equip our customers better to face the new challenges they face, such as:
- The headwinds of a challenging economy where every leader closely monitors spending and investments.
- The war for talent requires that organizations become creators, not consumers, of talent.
- Technology transformation doesn’t stop with getting certified or a moment-in–time focus on small cultural shifts. Delivery, innovation, growth, and delivery are all at risk because of the growing skills and operating gap.
Why we built our enterprise-ready solutions
Content can be a commodity.
If all your teams need is content, send them to YouTube. It doesn’t work to dump a lot of content on your team and tell them to master it. Learning is not enough when there are multiple content providers and varying quality. There is no way to measure the effectiveness of each content.
Action item – Be intentional. Programs can only be built on something other than content alone.
Organizations lack direction on what success looks for in a role
They need guidance on how to support their employees in this journey. Technologists stated that budget and time constraints are the biggest obstacles to learning. We found that only 36% of organizations dedicate time to learning.
Action item Learning must be prioritized with a holistic and programmatic approach. You need to be able to identify specific problems and goals and clearly understand the definition of success for each role. For everyone involved, connect the why, when, and how.
It needs to be clarified how teams stack up.
How can you assess teams’ performance and determine the return on investment in skill development? Analytics is the answer. Data is necessary to decide how upskilling and recalibration work and how you compare with other organizations.
Action item Connect and measure progress towards your purpose. Feel free to reinvent programs that are low in engagement or don’t provide ROI.
The teams you need, from the talent you have, on the timeline you want
We are launching solutions to these problems today. They are programmatic, guided, and have measurable results. They create the teams you need from your talent and in the timeframe you prefer.
Tech fluency
Technology can be a deflationary force, but only if people can use it. Leaders realize that tech fluency is for more than just technologists but all employees. Tech fluency can raise the waterline within entire organizations. Our tech fluency solution was created with content that increases knowledge of key technologies. This solution empowers employees, regardless of their technical backgrounds, to fluently use critical technologies and how they can deliver business outcomes – for less than one cup of coffee per month.
Reskilling and upskilling
This foundation is the basis for our upskilling and reskilling solutions. It allows organizations to move beyond simply “throwing content at tech teams” without any way of calculating effectiveness. It helps individuals to find the proper role- and the skill-based path that is most relevant for them and their daily work.
The entire company can simultaneously index and solve skill gaps at scale. They can use customized programs, immersive experiences, or instructor-led training to achieve meaningful outcomes. This solution allows organs to move from tech fluency to mission-ready and create the teams they need for critical projects.
75% of leaders are building new products and features in the cloud, but only 8% of technologists have extensive experience working with cloud-related tools. — State of Cloud 2022 (Pluralsight)
Cloud transformation
While three out of four companies intend to move all their business to the cloud, only 8% have experience with cloud computing. The impressive progress shows that learning is not a process but a journey. With a clear strategy, creating deep specialization in cloud computing is easier. So we made our cloud transformation solution. This solution combines hands-on learning with bite-sized content, sandboxes, and services. This solution allows companies to build cloud-literate, ready, or native teams. They can also become stronger, more resilient, and more efficient from this economic downturn by making on the cloud and for it.
Software delivery and onboarding of engineers
We understand that you must do more with less. Our software delivery and engineering onboarding solutions allowed our customers to reduce ramp times by 3 to 6 months and 35%, respectively. These solutions provide the insight, foresight, and foresight that you need to understand the lifecycle of software delivery to make data-driven decisions about engineering teams. Combining the software delivery insights and role-based learning and immersive programs will help you build better products and groups and measure ROI in a new and meaningful manner.
This is what we mean when we say “mission”: to advance the global tech workforce as your partner. We have seen that people will work together if you provide them with the information, guidance, and data needed to make it happen.
