Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) Update 25C introduces Dynamic Skills
as a transformative, AI-powered feature for talent management, fully integrated into the
Redwood user experience (UX). The Redwood pages, Oracle’s modern interface framework,
enhance usability, performance, and scalability, making Dynamic Skills a critical tool for
organizations aiming to optimize workforce capabilities in a competitive, skills-driven economy.
- Drives Strategic Talent Management with AI-Powered Insights
Dynamic Skills leverages artificial intelligence to dynamically capture, assess, and recommend
employee skills in real-time, aligning talent with organizational needs:
Real-Time Skill Mapping: AI infers skills from resumes, job histories, and activities (e.g.,
completed projects or certifications), creating dynamic skill profiles that evolve with employee
contributions.
Internal Mobility and Opportunity Matching: Integration with Opportunity Marketplace
enables precise skill-based matching for roles, gigs, or mentorship, reducing hiring costs by 20-
30% (per Oracle case studies) and filling internal roles faster.
Personalized Development: Embedded GenAI (via AI Agent Studio) delivers tailored learning
and career path recommendations, e.g., suggesting specific skills like “data analytics” for a
project manager based on market trends.
- Enhances User Experience with Redwood Pages
Redwood UX, Oracle’s modern design system, underpins Dynamic Skills in 25C, delivering a
seamless, intuitive, and high-performance interface:
Streamlined Navigation: Redwood pages reduce clicks and load times (e.g., fewer SQL queries
for skill balance views), making it easier for HR, managers, and employees to access and act on
skill data.
Contextual Information: Headers on Redwood pages display up to four person-specific
attributes (e.g., top skills, skill proficiency levels), providing instant context during talent
reviews or hiring.
Interactive Features: Type-ahead search, hover effects, and dynamic containers (customizable
via Visual Builder Studio) make skill exploration engaging and efficient.
Mobile and Voice Accessibility: Dynamic Skills is accessible via Redwood-enabled mobile apps
(iOS/Android) with voice mode, enabling on-the-go skill updates or queries.
- Supports Organizational Agility and Compliance
Dynamic Skills on Redwood Pages enables organizations to adapt to global and industry-specific
demands:
Localized Skill Taxonomies: Supports compliance with regional regulations (e.g., GDPR for skill
data in Europe) by allowing localized skill frameworks.
Scalable Talent Strategies: Analytics dashboards (built with Oracle Transactional Business
Intelligence) visualize skill gaps across teams, regions, or business units, enabling data-driven
workforce planning.
Integration with HCM Modules: Seamless connections with Goals, Performance, and Recruiting
modules ensure skills data informs goal-setting (e.g., auto-updating goal progress based on skill
milestones) and hiring decisions.
- Redwood-Only Exclusives Accelerate Transformation
Update 25C marks a pivotal shift toward 100% Redwood UX, with Dynamic Skills being a
Redwood-only feature:
Deprecation of Legacy Pages: Legacy responsive pages (e.g., for checklists) are unsupported
post-25C, making Redwood adoption critical to access advanced features like Dynamic Skills.
Performance Gains: Redwood’s optimized architecture (e.g., fewer database calls) ensures
faster rendering of complex skill analytics, critical for large enterprises.
Extensibility: Visual Builder Studio allows organizations to customize Redwood pages, such as
embedding skill visualizations or OTBI reports, tailoring Dynamic Skills to unique needs.
- Boosts Employee Engagement and Productivity
Dynamic Skills empowers employees to take charge of their development within an engaging
Redwood interface:
Transparent Skill Profiles: Employees can view and update their skills, earning badges for
milestones (e.g., +10% goal completion for a new certification).
Career Path Visibility: Redwood pages integrate with Opportunity Marketplace to show
internal roles or projects matching an employee’s skills, fostering motivation.
Simplified Workflows: Redwood Journeys guides employees through skill-building tasks (e.g.,
training modules) with clear, visual progress trackers.
- Future-Proofs Workforce Planning
Dynamic Skills in 25C positions organizations for long-term success:
AI-Driven Forecasting: GenAI predicts emerging skill needs based on industry trends, helping
organizations stay ahead of disruptions (e.g., AI or sustainability skills).
Scalable Integration: Works seamlessly with Oracle’s broader cloud ecosystem (e.g., Fusion
Analytics Warehouse), enabling enterprise-wide skill analytics.
Continuous Updates: As a Redwood-only feature, Dynamic Skills will receive ongoing
enhancements, ensuring organizations benefit from Oracle’s innovation pipeline.
