Skillable: Helping managers better understand their staff's learning needs

The problem

Despite strong interest from hospitality managers, only 34.2% in Denmark invited their staff to Skillable after signing in, revealing a gap in trust and engagement.

The challenge

Carlsberg and Skillable wanted to give managers a clearer view of their teams’ learning needs. They needed a tool that went beyond surface-level training stats—something that revealed real gaps, supported decision-making, and worked at scale.

Our approach

We rebuilt Skillable using the latest version of React Native and applied a design system approach to create a cohesive, scalable, and user-friendly mobile app. Instead of introducing an entirely new set of features, we focused on deepening the learning experience. By adding an Evaluation lesson at the end of each training path, managers could gain valuable insight into their team’s areas for improvement. This allowed them to create more tailored and focused content that truly supported their staff, while staying aligned with Carlsberg’s brand and training goals.

Listening first

Listening first

We started by talking to managers, admins, and staff members, understanding their day-to-day challenges. What decisions do they need to make? Where do they feel stuck? Which data would actually help them?

Co‑designing dashboards, sketches and wireframes

Co‑designing dashboards, sketches and wireframes

We mapped how users move, pick up insights, and act. Using wireframes and prototypes, we tested different visual layouts to make sure each screen helped managers spot skill gaps and track progress easily.

Validating with real users

Validating with real users

We watched managers interact with the new dashboards. We tuned elements that needed clarity and celebrated when users said “this is exactly what I was missing.”

Bringing it all to life
