Let’s cut the nonsense: your organization has a skills framework. It probably hasn’t rationalized a single course against it. The result is a bloated content catalog, no governance to keep it current, and nothing to show leadership when they ask what capability you’ve actually built.
In this Training Industry’s Leader Talks session, we confront the gap between a skills strategy and a portfolio that reflects it, and then arm you with the infrastructure to close it. You’ll work through a real diagnostic, learn the ATLAS methodology for portfolio rationalization, and walk through the Retain / Retire / Recreate framework with criteria you can apply to your own catalog immediately.
We go beyond a one-time cleanup and focus on what keeps a portfolio aligned over time: the governance infrastructure that stops content from drifting out of sync with your skills framework again. This session is not about a rationalization project. It’s about building a system that holds up.
What You Will Learn
- How to diagnose a learning portfolio against a skills framework and identify what to keep, what to cut and what to rebuild
- A practical walkthrough of the ATLAS methodology (Align, Tag, Leverage, Architect, Sustain) for portfolio rationalization
- The Retain / Retire / Recreate decision framework, with criteria you can apply to your own catalog in the next 30 days
- How to build the governance infrastructure that keeps a skills-aligned portfolio current, not just rationalized once and left to drift
