Australian workforce intelligence company AbilityMap has today announced a strategic partnership with global engagement and learning leader BI WORLDWIDE, at a time when global employee skills requirements are shifting, productivity is stalling and organisations are under increasing pressure to prove the impact of their people and professional development investments.
Despite billions being spent each year on training and development, many programs fail to lift performance because employees are being trained on skills that don’t directly relate to the outcomes their roles require. AbilityMap’s technology changes this by using science and data to pinpoint exactly which capabilities drive success in each role and identifying people’s level of capability to deliver them, ensuring learning and engagement efforts deliver measurable results.
The partnership will see BI WORLDWIDE integrate and resell AbilityMap’s workforce intelligence solution across its enterprise learning and engagement solutions. By combining BI WORLDWIDE’s decades of expertise in employee learning and engagement with AbilityMap’s science-based approach to measuring and aligning human capability, the collaboration enables organisations to directly connect workforce skills to business performance.
“Most organisations are investing in engagement and training programs without truly knowing which skills drive performance, and importantly, their peoples’ level of capability to perform them,” said Mike Erlin, Co-Founder and CEO of AbilityMap.
“This partnership represents the next evolution in how companies understand and grow their people, one where culture meets capability, and investment finally links these to measurable business outcomes. It’s also a powerful example of Australian workforce innovation being adopted on a global stage.”
Headquartered in Minneapolis with regional headquarters in Asia, Australia, Canada, China, Europe, India, Latin America, and the United States, BI WORLDWIDE has helped organisations achieve their business goals. Using behavioural science and technology, BI WORLDWIDE drives engagement, motivation, and loyalty across employees, channel partners, and customers. The partnership gives AbilityMap immediate access to BI WORLDWIDE's extensive enterprise client network, expanding the reach of its solution into key international markets.
Peder Jacobson, Vice President of Learning at BI WORLDWIDE, said: “AbilityMap gives our clients a precise, science-validated way to connect people’s capabilities to roles that fit them best. Together, we can help organisations build teams and leaders that not only create a strong culture but also deliver better business outcomes.”
As organisations WORLDWIDE grapple with evolving skills demands, AI disruption, and record-low engagement, the AbilityMap and BI WORLDWIDE partnership represents a new era in evidence-based workforce development. Where human capability becomes the foundation for performance, engagement, and growth.
