Dimension Data shifted its business strategy from a focus on hardware and infrastructure to digital services and solutions. To enable this new strategy and increase agility, Dimension Data took several steps:
1) It mapped existing jobs and established core competencies for technical employees.
2) It developed a competency framework to provide clarity on skills and careers.
3) It linked the competency framework to an online careers portal for employees to self-populate profiles and explore development opportunities.
This allowed Dimension Data to better understand and develop its workforce's skills to support the new business strategy.
