Who We Are

Why We Exist

Skill Collective was founded in Oct 2022 by Oli and Karl. In 2025, Skill Collective was acquired by Lightcast.

Colleagues and friends who were fed up with organisations falling into the same trap of making costly mistakes with their skills investments. Coupled with broken, expensive and inadequate consulting models, they set out on a path to evolve the industry through a relentlessly honest approach – embedding teams with real experts, at a fraction of the cost of Big 4 consultancies.

We’re Not Just Taking Part

At Skill Collective, our mission is clear - we untangle the complexities of skills and skills technology, revolutionising the way organisations measure, manage, and optimise their human capital.

Boldly Solving Problems, Together

We are Authentic, Bold, and Committed.  Our Values are for Our Collective - in how we work. Our Values are for Our Customers - in how they excel.  Our Values are for Ourselves as humans - in how we live.  In order for all stakeholders to thrive, Our Values are deeply rooted in everything we do at Skill Collective. 

People First. Always

Our vision at Skill Collective is to unlock the full potential of human capability through skills. By simplifying the complex world of skills, we empower business leaders and their teams to achieve enhanced business outcomes and elevate employee experiences.
