Skillsoft has launched its next-generation Skillsoft Percipio® Platform. This marks a big step in the company’s effort to manage skills for today’s workforce. The launch meets a rising need for businesses to link learning investments with clear skills development and results. AI is changing jobs and industries, making this connection even more important.
Organizations are facing quick changes in skills. Research shows that about 40% of core workplace skills may change by 2030. Leaders feel more pressure to know if their workforce is ready for the future. Although companies spend a lot on learning, many do not clearly see their current skills, skill gaps, and how learning affects readiness and performance.
“Customers are telling us the challenge is bigger than simply access to learning,” said Ron Hovsepian, Chief Executive Officer of Skillsoft. “The challenge is knowing whether their workforce is ready for what’s next. As work changes faster, organizations need clarity and results. They need to understand which skills matter, where they stand today, and how their talent development connects to real outcomes. That shift is driving the move toward end-to-end skills management.”

The updated Percipio platform brings learning and skills management into a single environment, enabling organizations to map, build, and measure skills at scale. Rather than focusing solely on course consumption, the platform emphasizes visibility into proficiency, alignment to roles, and progress against business priorities.
Key capabilities include tools like LX Design Studio™ and CAISY®. These tools enable teams to create personalized, role-specific learning experiences quickly. This supports faster reskilling as roles change. The platform connects skills mapping, assessment, and development in one system. This gives leaders a clear view of workforce readiness. Structured, skills-aligned learning journeys link development efforts to measurable capability and performance impact.
“Learning creates value when skills are visible and actionable across the business,” said Gavin McQuillan, Head of Learning and Development at NatWest. “That means understanding the skills we have, the capabilities the work requires, and how learning can close that gap. Skillsoft helps us connect learning to skills development and workforce decisions so we can adapt as needs change.”
Skillsoft‘s next-generation Percipio Platform helps organizations shift from activity-based learning to data-driven skills management. This change enables targeted reskilling, smarter workforce planning, and better returns on current talent as change speeds up.
