Norsk Hydro, a global leader in aluminium and
renewable energy, recognized the need to
transition to a skills-based organization. A lack of
structured skills intelligence made it difficult to align
workforce capabilities with evolving business and
sustainability goals. Without real-time insights,
skills identification, workforce planning, and
internal mobility were challenging, creating gaps in
career progression and reskilling efforts.

implement the Skills Transformation Suite and SAP
SuccessFactors Talent Intelligence Hub. This
initiative focused on:
• Curating a skills library using AI, aligning skills
intelligence with workforce planning.
• Mapping skills to job families, improving
visibility into employee capabilities.
• Automating skills tagging of learning content,
ensuring employees receive personalised
development recommendations.
Norsk Hydro has successfully laid the foundation for a
skills-based workforce, improving workforce planning,
talent mobility, and skills development. The initiative is:
• Improving data accuracy with AI-powered skills
identification, enhancing workforce insights.
• Providing a structured framework for future skills-
based talent strategies.
• Enabling real-time, AI-driven skills tagging, aligning
learning content with business priorities.

improving skills visibility and supporting long-term
sustainability vision, ensuring a future-ready, agile
