Hard skills and soft skills are no longer enough. To be ready for the future, we need power skills. For years, we focused on technical expertise and interpersonal abilities as the pillars of professional success. Both still matter — but today’s world demands more. In an era defined by complexity, constant change, and the need for innovation, a third category has become essential: 👉 Power Skills These are the strategic capabilities that integrate technical know-how and relational strength — and add the ability to lead change, navigate complexity, and drive transformation. Here’s how they stand apart: ✔️ While hard skills focus on getting tasks done, and soft skills on working well with others, power skills focus on leading through uncertainty and shaping the future. ✔️ Hard skills are task-oriented. Soft skills are people-oriented. Power skills are future-oriented. ✔️ Hard and soft skills keep operations running — but power skills drive transformation, align stakeholders, and ensure organizations stay resilient and competitive. In short: If hard skills get the job done, and soft skills make it a team effort — Power skills ensure you're working on the right problems, in the right way, to shape what’s next. We built a new competency framework for power skills: the Big 5 of Strategy. We are looking for 5 large pioneering organizations that want to be our launching customers. Interested?
