Developing employee expertise is a decisive factor for the long-term success of companies. By specifically promoting the skills and knowledge of employees, organisations can strengthen their competitiveness in a dynamic market environment. KIROI Step 8 provides valuable impetus for effectively organising this process and optimally combining both individual potential and strategic corporate goals.
Building employee expertise: a strategic investment
Effective employee competence development is based on a combination of different learning formats. These include on-the-job training, mentoring programmes and structured workshops. These approaches make it possible to improve skills in a practical context and expand theoretical knowledge. Particularly in sectors such as IT and manufacturing, the benefits of AI-supported systems that can automatically recognise training needs and initiate tailor-made training courses are becoming apparent [2][4].
Practical implementation in the company
One company in the IT sector, for example, uses AI-supported systems to give employees individualised suggestions for programming languages and frameworks that they should learn for new projects. This enables precise guidance and support for skills development [2]. In the financial sector, such AI solutions often lead to improved transparency in career paths and development options, which has a positive impact on employee retention [4].
Building employee expertise through coaching and mentoring
Coaching and mentoring are key elements in employee competence development. These approaches offer targeted feedback and support employees in mastering challenges and developing personal strengths. One example of this is a multi-stage programme that includes regular workshops and digital learning modules in addition to coaching. In practice, this programme has proven to be effective in increasing employee motivation and promoting team cohesion [8].

The managers received ongoing impulses for self-reflection and feedback methods. This led to a significant increase in employee motivation and team cohesion.
Methodological expertise as the key to success
Methodological competence is the ability to obtain, structure and analyse information. This competence is crucial for efficiently mastering complex tasks at work. By specifically promoting methodological skills, companies can significantly increase the performance of their employees. Approaches such as mentoring programmes, project-based learning and regular reflection sessions have proven successful in this respect [3][11].
Technology-based support for employee competence development
The integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible to make employee skills development even more effective. AI-supported systems can adapt learning content individually and offer personalised development programmes. This leads to better adaptation to the company's current and future requirements [2][4].
My analysis
The development of employee skills is a decisive factor for the long-term success of companies. Organisations can strengthen their competitiveness by specifically promoting the skills and knowledge of their employees. The combination of practical learning formats, coaching and technology-based support offers companies the opportunity to develop their employees in a targeted manner and thus ensure the company's long-term success.
