Session

Sunrise and Sunset Skills – Skills Reinvention Cycle

Solution Study

Monday, November 24

10:00 am - 10:30 am

Live in Berlin

Less Details

Organizations everywhere are navigating a profound transformation as legacy skills and operating models (“sunset” capabilities) give way to new, AI-augmented and future-ready skill sets (“sunrise” capabilities). The challenge is no longer just about identifying gaps—it’s about orchestrating a complete skills transition across every function.

In this session, we’ll explore Draup’s framework for the strategic re-composition of work, including:

Mapping Sunset Skills → Pinpointing capabilities losing relevance due to automation, digitization, and evolving customer expectations.
Defining Sunrise Skills → Showcasing emerging technical, digital, and human competencies that will anchor competitiveness in the AI era.
Embedding Functional Context → Recognizing that Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Product, and IT each experience this shift differently—and require tailored transition strategies.
Operationalizing the Shift → Using Draup’s Skills Architecture to design actionable upskilling, reskilling, and redeployment programs at scale.

This is not a simple skills refresh—it is a reinvention cycle, where the end of one era directly seeds the next. The sunrise is brighter when the sunset is purposeful.
