Intelligent Role Studio
Governance and Lifecycle Management of Skills Truth
IRS is where HR, COEs, and business SMEs standardize, control, and continuously maintain your role and skill definitions—so every downstream decision is based on approved, current, and auditable expectations for what good looks like.
What IRS is
Your control plane for role + skill standards:
If Skills Truth is the enterprise standard for role expectations, IRS is how you govern it over time—without spreadsheets, consulting cycles, or one-time architecture projects.
- Ownership: Assign accountable stewards and SMEs by role, job family, region, or function.
- Change Control: Route updates through review + approval workflows before anything is published.
- Auditability: Track what changed, who approved it, when, and why—down to the field level.
Your organization gets one shared model of work.
What Your Govern
Govern the Components of Skills Truth
- Roles & Job Profiles – Titles, summaries, responsibilities, job family/level, location variants
- Skills & Capabilities – Skills, experiences, certifications, qualifications, work preferences
- Proficiency & Behaviors – Level definitions and behavioral indicators that make ratings consistent
- Relationships – Role-to-skill, skill-to-skill, and dependency mapping that prevents drift
- Career Structures – Progressions, lateral moves, and readiness expectations by pathway
- Standards & Templates – Required fields, naming conventions, and structural guardrails
