Intelligent Role Studio

A single, always-current model of roles and skills—managed in one simple workspace.

You’re closer to clarity than you think. Intelligent Role Studio is where HR and Talent teams clean up, standardize, and manage roles, skills, and proficiency levels. Behind the scenes, it’s powered by a Dynamic Role & Skills Graph that keeps everything connected and up to date across your systems.

TalentGuard Intelligent Role Studio

Your Workspace for a Living Model of Work

Intelligent Role Studio is the place where you manage your roles and skills.

In the background, a Dynamic Role & Skills Graph connects:

  • job roles
  • skills and experiences
  • proficiency levels and behaviors
  • job families, locations, and org structure
  • career progressions

into a single, centralized model. You work in a friendly studio; the graph keeps everything consistent everywhere else.

You get an easy-to-use studio.

Your organization gets one shared model of work.

Layer 2 of the TalentGuard Platform

Within TalentGuard, the Dynamic Role & Skills Graph is the Model layer:

    • Powered by WorkforceGPT (Layer 1)
      Clean, enriched roles and skills flow into the graph automatically as work evolves.
    • Feeding Workforce Capability Intelligence (Layer 3)
      Because roles, skills, and levels are connected, you can see strengths, gaps, and risk in context—not as isolated numbers.
    • Supporting Talent Applications (Layer 4)
      Assessments, development plans, mobility, succession, and performance all rely on this single model, instead of each area inventing its own.

This is what turns “a pile of job descriptions” into a real, usable workforce model.

What It Improves Right Away

What the Dynamic Graph Delivers

One shared model of work

Replace conflicting role definitions and skills lists with a single, agreed-upon version everyone can use.

Clean mapping across systems

Align job codes, titles, and skills across HRIS, ATS, LMS, and talent tools so data flows smoothly instead of fighting you.

Consistent proficiency levels

Use the same levels and behavioral indicators across roles and regions so ratings actually mean the same thing.

Clear line from work to development

Connect roles and skills directly to learning, development plans, and career paths.

A foundation for analytics

Give Workforce Insights (Layer 3) a solid model to analyze, so capability heatmaps and gap views are grounded in reality—not guesswork.

SME Assignment

Ability to assign and revoke job roles to a subject matter expert for role editing and approval.

How the Dynamic Role & Skills Graph Fits Into Your World

You don’t have to “design a graph” from scratch. We use the roles and skills you already have, clean them up with WorkforceGPT, and organize them into a model HR can actually manage.

Bring Roles Into the Studio

Publish roles from WorkforceGPT or we upload your existing jobs and skills. Everything lands in one place to review and refine.

Define Relationships

We connect roles to skills, skills to behaviors and proficiency levels, and jobs to org structure, locations, and job families.

Govern and Evolve the Model

HR and COEs use simple controls to review changes, manage approvals, and update roles and skills as the business evolves, without rebuilding the whole architecture.

Feed Your Systems and Processes

The studio pushes this standardized role and skill data into TalentGuard and your other HR systems, so assessments, development, mobility, and analytics all use the same model.

Built for HR Reality, Not Data Science Fantasy

You don’t need a team of ontologists or data scientists to manage the Dynamic Graph.

We make it manageable by:

  • giving HR and COEs simple screens to adjust roles, skills, and relationships
  • using sensible defaults and templates you can tweak instead of designing from zero
  • making changes incremental and reversible so you can evolve the model over time
  • keeping the complexity under the hood, not in your day-to-day workflow

The result: a powerful model that still feels approachable and practical for HR.
