THE CHALLENGE

Building a skills strategy fast enough for the AI market

Teradata is a global data and AI company headquartered in California, serving the world’s top companies across financial services, telecommunications, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and transportation. The Teradata Autonomous AI and Knowledge Platform provides enterprise-grade foundation required to scale AI responsibly and effectively, with built-in analytics, governance, performance, and security across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. As an AI leader facing unrelenting market change, Teradata had to become its own customer zero, innovating with AI internally as fast as it sells AI solutions externally.

 

At the time of adopting LinkedIn Learning, Teradata was in the early stages of evolving to a more integrated skills strategy. Skill development efforts existed across functions, with an opportunity to further align them to enterprise priorities and changing role requirements. The team was early in its jobs-to-skills mapping journey, working through foundational questions such as the distinctions between skills, capabilities, and competencies” Without a shared language for the skills that matter most, Teradata couldn’t move people fast enough to keep pace with its AI offerings.

THE SOLUTION

Keeping Teradata’s workforce ready for what's next

For a company rooted in data and AI, Teradata couldn't afford a workforce that wasn't fluent in either. LinkedIn Learning Career Hub gave their talent leaders real-time skills intelligence grounded in LinkedIn's 1 billion+ member network, without displacing their LMS, HCM, or knowledge platforms already in place. And through the Microsoft Viva Glint integration, upskilling, insights, and recommendations reach managers and employees where they already are.
