Case Study: Deutsche Bahn builds a skills-based organization with edyoucated

Deutsche Bahn's Journey Towards a Skills-Based Organization

Deutsche Bahn, a major mobility and logistics provider, faced significant challenges in managing the skills of its vast workforce. With critical skill data dispersed and its extensive training catalog unconnected to specific skills, the company lacked a central framework for strategic workforce planning and development. To address this, Deutsche Bahn partnered with edyoucated to implement a skill management solution, seeking to build transparency and create a foundation for a skills-based organization.

edyoucated implemented a comprehensive solution that included developing a customized skills taxonomy with over 7,000 skills and using AI to map the company's entire training catalog to them, achieving a 99% coverage rate. They also established a governance framework for long-term maintenance. This provided Deutsche Bahn with a common language for skills, enabled personalized learning recommendations for employees, and laid a robust foundation for future skills-based initiatives.
