BI WORLDWIDE (BIW) and AbilityMap are pleased to announce they have entered into a global strategic partnership, combining BIW’s industry-leading employee engagement and performance solution services with AbilityMap’s workforce intelligence solution. AbilityMap’s platform objectively identifies human skills required for performance in critical roles, then measures people’s capability to perform those skills, delivering high-impact, actionable talent insights.

“We founded AbilityMap to close a gap I saw years ago in the learning sector,” said Mike Erlin, AbilityMap CEO. “Companies didn’t know which skills truly drove performance, or how to measure people’s natural capability to perform them. AbilityMap is like Moneyball for workforce performance — a FICO score for human capability – a simple measure with deep science behind it that predicts who can thrive in a role. Partnering with a company of the quality and history of BIW means we can now deliver these critical insights and business impact at scale to enterprises worldwide.”

The partnership pairs AbilityMap’s capability-based performance insights with BIW’s learning, recognition, and engagement services to align talent decisions with business strategy and deliver measurable business outcomes.

“BIW has always been at the forefront of helping companies inspire and engage their people,” said Peder Jacobsen, BIW Vice President of Learning and Organizational Effectiveness. “With AbilityMap, we now give our clients a science-based way to connect talent acquisition, learning, and recognition directly to the human skills that drive success in their organizations. This creates a new level of impact that drives business outcomes – especially in employee retention, leadership development, and sales.”

This collaboration marks a significant step forward in connecting people strategy to business strategy. By combining BIW’s expertise in employee engagement with AbilityMap’s science-based talent intelligence, companies gain a powerful new way to make smarter talent decisions, accelerate development, and achieve measurable outcomes across their workforce.
