Architecting a Skills-Forward Future: IFF’s Digital Job Architecture & AI Coaching Journey
At IFF, a common challenge emerged: too many job titles, inconsistent leveling, and data scattered everywhere. What began as a structural clean-up quickly became a full transformation powered by technology that finally made job architecture usable, scalable, and truly strategic. The skills-based Job Architecture was further supercharged with AI Coaching.
This session shares how IFF built a unified, skills-based architecture inside Workday, using tools that bring clarity to job profiles, highlight skill gaps, and strengthen decisions across hiring, mobility, and rewards. By digitizing the framework, they moved from static documents to dynamic insights, giving leaders real visibility into talent needs while providing employees a clearer path to grow.
The session walks through the practical steps taken: simplifying levels, creating consistent profiles, improving data quality, and using machine-learning-driven comparisons to spot duplicate or misaligned jobs. Just as importantly, it covers how HR and managers were equipped to champion the change so it became part of everyday processes, not another HR initiative that sits on the shelf.
If you're looking to modernize job architecture or make your existing framework actually work, this session will give you a blueprint: the tools that matter, the change moments that make a difference, and the lessons learned along the way.
