Ian Lee-Emery, CEO and Founder of Head Light, comments: “Five consecutive years is something we’re proud of. Our customers rely on us to help them understand and develop their people, and they expect us to keep improving what we do. This recognition is encouraging for everyone involved in that work. *“The questions we hear from HR leaders are becoming more pressing: do we have the skills we need, are people ready to take on greater responsibility, and where are we becoming too dependent on a handful of individuals? Helping customers answer those questions is shaping our next stage of development.”* Head Light’s Talent Cloud applications support 360-degree feedback, performance management, skills management, succession planning and career development. They help organisations develop their people while building evidence about their skills, performance and readiness for future roles. Building on these applications, Head Light is developing its Workforce Capability Intelligence approach: connecting workforce evidence to show whether an organisation has the capability, readiness and resilience needed to deliver its strategy now and in the future. A central part of this development is the Workforce Signals layer, designed to capture changes such as a skill being gained, a development goal being completed or a successor being identified. Head Light aims to use these signals to help leaders understand where workforce capability is developing and where gaps or risks are emerging. "*HR leaders need to understand not only what skills and talent they have today, but how workforce capability is changing*" said David Wilson, CEO and founder of Fosway Group."*Connecting performance, development and succession information is becoming increasingly important for identifying gaps and preparing for future needs. Head Light’s approach to bringing these signals together is an important step towards giving organisations a more complete picture of their workforce capabilities and readiness for the future.* " Ian adds: “*A skills profile can tell you where someone stands today. Changes over time can tell you whether they are progressing, whether gaps are closing and whether your organisation is becoming better prepared.* *“That is where we’re taking Head Light. We’re building on the applications our customers already use, making the evidence they generate more useful. The aim is straightforward: help leaders see what needs their attention and give them a firmer basis for deciding what to do next.*” **About the Fosway 9-Grid™** Fosway Group is Europe's #1 HR industry analyst.
