The Skills Passport: Standard Chartered’s AI Workforce Revolution
Intellectually Curious
About
We unpack Standard Chartered Bank’s bold move to delete job titles and replace them with a dynamic skills marketplace. From sunset and sunrise roles to an AI-driven skills passport, the bank rescales 86,000 employees rather than laying them off. We explore how an internal Upwork/Uber for projects unlocks productivity, the math behind reskilling versus recruiting, and what this means for the future of work—employability over employment, and humans collaborating with machines as partners.
