Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator

Prove your skills strategy works in weeks, not months.

Launch with up to 100 priority roles and 250 active skills profiles in around six weeks. Then validate the data with employees and leaders, prove value, and build the case to expand. Priced on outcomes, not seats.

Talk to sales

You have plenty of skills data sitting inside your organization. So why is it still so hard to answer one simple question?

“What skills do our people actually have?”

It sounds like it should be easy to answer.

After all, you already have the data.

Job titles. Profiles. Assessments. Manager knowledge. More spreadsheets than anyone would care to count.

But when someone asks for a clear answer, you still find yourself saying:

“It depends.”

Usually, that is because one of five things is getting in the way.

01

You’re relying on job titles that stopped telling the whole story a long time ago

Job titles are useful. Until the role changes, the person develops new skills, or the organization restructures twice.

Inference gives you somewhere to start. It cannot always tell you what someone can actually do today.

02

Your people completed their profiles in your HRIS. Keeping those profiles current is another story.

Some employees have kept their profiles up to date. Others have been meaning to get back to it since the first reminder email.

So the profiles are there. You just cannot be sure how much of the information is still true.

Illustrative example—not a Fuel50 product screen.

03

Your managers know who can do what. Your system does not.

They know who is ready for more.

Who has skills nobody is using.

And where capability gaps need support.

The problem is that much of this knowledge still lives in their heads.

Or in Team Skills FINAL_v7.xlsx.

04

Your team is always getting the data “ready” while the business is still waiting.

Every follow-up gets the same answer: “We’re working on the data.”

Meanwhile, you still need to make decisions about mobility, development, reskilling, hiring and workforce planning.

Those decisions cannot wait forever.

05

Leadership sees the potential. Now they want proof.

They want to know whether employees will participate.

Whether managers will use it.

And whether the data will become reliable enough to support real decisions.

You understand why they are asking.

You just need a way to give them a confident answer.

Who’s best suited for Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator?

The Skills Data Accelerator works best when the goal is clear and the skills data is the part holding you back.

“We’re ready to start. We just need a clear place to begin.”

You are starting or speeding up a skills program.

You want to focus on the roles that matter now, learn what works, then expand.

“We have use cases waiting for better data.”

You want to improve internal mobility, development, reskilling, hiring or workforce planning.

First, you need a clearer answer to the question: “What skills do our people actually have?”

“We have the data. We need to know what we can trust.”

Job titles, profiles and assessments give you part of the answer.

You need employees and managers to help confirm the rest.

“We need an early win the business can see.”

You believe in the opportunity.

Now you need proof that employees will take part, managers will use it and the data will get stronger. That gives leadership a reason to fund what comes next.

If one of those sounds like a meeting you had sometime this quarter, you are in the right place.

Here’s everything included in the Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator.

The Accelerator is designed around the core elements that make your skills program work like a flywheel.

01

Skills architecture

Map skills to roles and create a shared, governed language for your workforce.

02

Active skills profiles

Build a living view of employee capability through skills, proficiency, and attestation.

03

Core Insights

See progress, capability signals, strengths, and gaps through actionable analytics.

04

Leader and team views

Help leaders understand team capability and guide targeted development conversations.

05

Career and mobility experience

Connect skills to career paths, development priorities, and internal opportunities.

06

Connected data foundation

Launch with single sign-on and inbound data options designed around your needs.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

We start here so employees, leaders and HR use the same language for roles and skills. On its own, it describes what each role needs, but it cannot show the skills people currently bring to those roles.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

Profiles add the employee picture: the skills people have, their proficiency and supporting input. On their own, profiles remain individual records; you still need insight to see workforce-wide strengths and gaps.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

Core Insights turns profile activity into visible patterns, showing progress, strengths and gaps across the selected roles. Those patterns become more reliable when leaders add the context they know about their teams.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

Leader and team views make the data useful in everyday talent conversations and bring manager knowledge into the picture. The next step is turning that clearer skills picture into opportunities employees can act on.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

Career and mobility experiences connect skills to roles, development and internal opportunities. That gives employees a reason to keep their profiles useful, but the experience still needs a secure connection to live people and role data.

WHY THIS PART MATTERS

The connected data foundation brings people and role data into a governed environment with single sign-on. With all six parts working together, skills data can stay current, become more trustworthy and support real workforce decisions.

Building skills data is hard. Keeping it trusted at scale is harder.

Your internal teams can assemble the source data, while AI can infer a useful first draft. Neither approach alone creates skills data that stays current, scales across the organization, and is trusted enough for workforce decisions.

Fuel50 combines I/O psychology-backed skills architecture, a proven activation method, and a scalable platform so you can prove value in weeks—with predictable, outcome-based pricing.

01

“Why don’t we build this ourselves internally?”

If building trusted skills data were easy, it would already be done. Your teams know your roles, your people, and your business; it’s turning that knowledge into decision-ready skills data that is the difficult part.

The work includes:

  • Designing a governed skills architecture for priority roles
  • Bringing data from different systems into one consistent model
  • Getting employees and leaders to validate what the data misses
  • Keeping profiles current as roles and capabilities change
  • Making the data easy to share with the systems where your teams already work

That requires specialist skills architecture, I/O psychology, change expertise, and a platform that can scale with predictable costs.

Fuel50 brings a method tried and tested across hundreds of organizations, so you can reach proof without spending months learning through trial and error.

02

“Can’t AI already do this?”

AI can read job titles, CVs, job descriptions and other records. From those clues, it can suggest the skills someone is likely to have.

That gives you a useful first draft.

But AI can only work with the information it can find.

  • It cannot see skills an employee has never written down
  • It cannot tell you how capable someone is
  • It cannot confirm whether information from three years ago is still accurate today

That matters when you want to use the data to guide development, mobility, hiring or workforce planning.

For those decisions, a likely answer is only the beginning.

Employees need to add what is missing. Managers need to confirm what they know. That is how an AI-generated first draft becomes skills data your business can trust.

“So how do we get skills data we can trust without waiting months?”

So, what tangible outcome can we expect from this?

Employees see where they can go. Leaders see what their teams can do. HR sees what the business can build.

The same skills data creates a different kind of value for each group.

For employees: a clearer view of what comes next

They can:

  • See their strengths more clearly
  • Understand how their skills match other roles
  • Find skills they can use in new ways
  • See what they need to develop next
  • Discover more relevant career and mobility opportunities

Their profile becomes something that helps their career, giving them a reason to keep it current.

For leaders: a clearer view of the team they already have

They can:

  • See strengths and gaps across the team
  • Find skills and experience they may have missed
  • Identify people who may be ready for more
  • Have better development conversations
  • See which skills the team needs to build next

The knowledge in their heads becomes something they can see, share and use.

For HR and Talent leaders: skills data they can use with confidence

They can:

  • See which skills exist across the workforce
  • Understand where important gaps are appearing
  • Make better workforce planning decisions
  • Support internal mobility and reskilling
  • Give leadership evidence they can see
  • Build a stronger case for expanding the skills program

Employees get more direction.

Leaders get more visibility.

You get skills data that becomes more useful every time they take part.

And the flywheel keeps turning.

Launch in around six weeks. Use the following 60–90 days to validate the data and prove value.

The first six weeks establish and launch the focused scope. The following phase strengthens participation, validation, and evidence for expansion.

Here’s what the journey looks like.

1

Days 1–15: Focus

Choose the employees and roles you want to start with.

Agree on what you want to achieve and how you will measure progress.

2

Days 16–45: Build and launch

Set up your skills foundation.

Bring in your people and role data.

Prepare employees and leaders for launch.

Then activate your chosen group.

3

The following 60–90 days: Strengthen

Employees review and update their skills.

Leaders add what they know about their teams.

Each contribution makes the skills picture clearer.

4

Then: Prove

Track active profiles, participation, confirmed skills, capability gaps and early signs of value.

By this point, your business case is backed by evidence from your own workforce.

5

Next: Expand

Take the profiles, skills architecture, data and lessons from the Accelerator into the next stage of your rollout.

You know what worked, where the value appeared and what to build next.

Customer results

For one global manufacturing client, stronger skills data translated into measurable business results.

Employees could see how their skills connected to roles and career opportunities. Leaders used the data to have better conversations, and the business gained a clearer view of its existing talent.

2 months

to launch to a 20,000-employee cohort

Compared with typical enterprise HR technology deployments of 6 to 12 months.

11%

Improvement in leader conversations

Employees had better conversations with their leaders about their skills, development and career options.

More roles filled by existing employees

These results are from one manufacturing client, so your numbers will be different.

They show what becomes possible when employees use their profiles, leaders add what they know, and HR puts trusted skills data to work.

You probably still have a few questions. Most teams do at this point.

What exactly is the Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator?

It is a focused Fuel50 package that helps you build active skills profiles, involve employees and leaders, and create a clearer picture of workforce skills.

You start with the roles and employees that matter most, then use what you learn to guide the next stage.

How quickly can we launch?

The Accelerator can be live in around six weeks.

The following 60 to 90 days are used to increase participation, strengthen the profiles and build early proof.

Do we need to map every role before we begin?

You begin with the roles that matter most right now.

This gives you a manageable place to start and allows you to learn what works before expanding to more of the organization.

What makes a skills profile active?

An active profile includes at least five skills and at least one source of confirmation.

That confirmation may come from the employee, a leader, a peer, a direct report or trusted external data.

What will Fuel50 need from our team?

We will work with you to agree on:

  • The employees and roles you want to start with
  • What you want the Accelerator to help you prove
  • How you will measure progress
  • The people and role data needed for launch
  • Who will lead the program inside your organization

Fuel50 will guide the setup, launch planning and training.

How do you get employees and leaders to take part?

The experience gives them something useful.

Employees can see their strengths, explore other roles and understand what they could develop next.

Leaders can see the skills across their teams, find gaps and have better development conversations.

Fuel50 also helps you plan the communications and training needed for launch.

What happens after the first 60 to 90 days?

You review what happened.

Which employees took part? Did leaders add what they knew? What did the data reveal? Where did you see the most value?

You can then expand to more roles, more employees or more Fuel50 experiences.

The profiles, skills data and role information you have already built come with you.

What sits outside the Accelerator package?

The Accelerator is designed to provide a focused starting point.

Fuel50 capabilities such as Gigs, Mentors, Learn+, Succession and Strategic Insights sit outside the starting package.

Broader custom integrations and full job architecture consulting are also separate.

Your Fuel50 team can help you decide when any of these should be added.

How does pricing work?

The Accelerator is priced around the active profiles and outcomes you want to create—not the number of seats.

Your sales conversation will help define the right starting group and package for your organization.

Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator

Prove your skills strategy works in weeks, not months.

Your internal teams can assemble the source data, while AI can infer a useful first draft. Neither approach alone creates skills data that stays current, scales across the organization, and is trusted enough for workforce decisions.

Fuel50 combines I/O psychology-backed skills architecture, a proven activation method, and a scalable platform so you can prove value in weeks—with predictable, outcome-based pricing.

01

“Why don’t we build this ourselves internally?”

If building trusted skills data were easy, it would already be done. Your teams know your roles, your people, and your business; it’s turning that knowledge into decision-ready skills data that is the difficult part.

The work includes:

  • Designing a governed skills architecture for priority roles
  • Bringing data from different systems into one consistent model
  • Getting employees and leaders to validate what the data misses
  • Keeping profiles current as roles and capabilities change
  • Making the data easy to share with the systems where your teams already work

That requires specialist skills architecture, I/O psychology, change expertise, and a platform that can scale with predictable costs.

Fuel50 brings a method tried and tested across hundreds of organizations, so you can reach proof without spending months learning through trial and error.

02

“Can’t AI already do this?”

AI can read job titles, CVs, job descriptions and other records. From those clues, it can suggest the skills someone is likely to have.

That gives you a useful first draft.

But AI can only work with the information it can find.

  • It cannot see skills an employee has never written down
  • It cannot tell you how capable someone is
  • It cannot confirm whether information from three years ago is still accurate today

That matters when you want to use the data to guide development, mobility, hiring or workforce planning.

For those decisions, a likely answer is only the beginning.

Employees need to add what is missing. Managers need to confirm what they know. That is how an AI-generated first draft becomes skills data your business can trust.

“So how do we get skills data we can trust without waiting months?”

So, what tangible outcome can we expect from this?

Employees see where they can go. Leaders see what their teams can do. HR sees what the business can build.

The same skills data creates a different kind of value for each group.

For employees: a clearer view of what comes next

They can:

  • See their strengths more clearly
  • Understand how their skills match other roles
  • Find skills they can use in new ways
  • See what they need to develop next
  • Discover more relevant career and mobility opportunities

Their profile becomes something that helps their career, giving them a reason to keep it current.

For leaders: a clearer view of the team they already have

They can:

  • See strengths and gaps across the team
  • Find skills and experience they may have missed
  • Identify people who may be ready for more
  • Have better development conversations
  • See which skills the team needs to build next

The knowledge in their heads becomes something they can see, share and use.

For HR and Talent leaders: skills data they can use with confidence

They can:

  • See which skills exist across the workforce
  • Understand where important gaps are appearing
  • Make better workforce planning decisions
  • Support internal mobility and reskilling
  • Give leadership evidence they can see
  • Build a stronger case for expanding the skills program

Employees get more direction.

Leaders get more visibility.

You get skills data that becomes more useful every time they take part.

And the flywheel keeps turning.

Launch in around six weeks. Use the following 60–90 days to validate the data and prove value.

The first six weeks establish and launch the focused scope. The following phase strengthens participation, validation, and evidence for expansion.

Here’s what the journey looks like.

1

Days 1–15: Focus

Choose the employees and roles you want to start with.

Agree on what you want to achieve and how you will measure progress.

2

Days 16–45: Build and launch

Set up your skills foundation.

Bring in your people and role data.

Prepare employees and leaders for launch.

Then activate your chosen group.

3

The following 60–90 days: Strengthen

Employees review and update their skills.

Leaders add what they know about their teams.

Each contribution makes the skills picture clearer.

4

Then: Prove

Track active profiles, participation, confirmed skills, capability gaps and early signs of value.

By this point, your business case is backed by evidence from your own workforce.

5

Next: Expand

Take the profiles, skills architecture, data and lessons from the Accelerator into the next stage of your rollout.

You know what worked, where the value appeared and what to build next.

Customer results

For one global manufacturing client, stronger skills data translated into measurable business results.

Employees could see how their skills connected to roles and career opportunities. Leaders used the data to have better conversations, and the business gained a clearer view of its existing talent.

2 months

to launch to a 20,000-employee cohort

Compared with typical enterprise HR technology deployments of 6 to 12 months.

11%

Improvement in leader conversations

Employees had better conversations with their leaders about their skills, development and career options.

More roles filled by existing employees

These results are from one manufacturing client, so your numbers will be different.

They show what becomes possible when employees use their profiles, leaders add what they know, and HR puts trusted skills data to work.

You probably still have a few questions. Most teams do at this point.

What exactly is the Fuel50 Skills Data Accelerator?

It is a focused Fuel50 package that helps you build active skills profiles, involve employees and leaders, and create a clearer picture of workforce skills.

You start with the roles and employees that matter most, then use what you learn to guide the next stage.

How quickly can we launch?

The Accelerator can be live in around six weeks.

The following 60 to 90 days are used to increase participation, strengthen the profiles and build early proof.

Do we need to map every role before we begin?

You begin with the roles that matter most right now.

This gives you a manageable place to start and allows you to learn what works before expanding to more of the organization.

What makes a skills profile active?

An active profile includes at least five skills and at least one source of confirmation.

That confirmation may come from the employee, a leader, a peer, a direct report or trusted external data.

What will Fuel50 need from our team?

We will work with you to agree on:

  • The employees and roles you want to start with
  • What you want the Accelerator to help you prove
  • How you will measure progress
  • The people and role data needed for launch
  • Who will lead the program inside your organization

Fuel50 will guide the setup, launch planning and training.

How do you get employees and leaders to take part?

The experience gives them something useful.

Employees can see their strengths, explore other roles and understand what they could develop next.

Leaders can see the skills across their teams, find gaps and have better development conversations.

Fuel50 also helps you plan the communications and training needed for launch.

What happens after the first 60 to 90 days?

You review what happened.

Which employees took part? Did leaders add what they knew? What did the data reveal? Where did you see the most value?

You can then expand to more roles, more employees or more Fuel50 experiences.

The profiles, skills data and role information you have already built come with you.

What sits outside the Accelerator package?

The Accelerator is designed to provide a focused starting point.

Fuel50 capabilities such as Gigs, Mentors, Learn+, Succession and Strategic Insights sit outside the starting package.

Broader custom integrations and full job architecture consulting are also separate.

Your Fuel50 team can help you decide when any of these should be added.

How does pricing work?

The Accelerator is priced around the active profiles and outcomes you want to create—not the number of seats.

Your sales conversation will help define the right starting group and package for your organization.
