Grow Deployment Accelerator Agent

Configure the new Grow Deployment Accelerator agent to automatically add skills to job profiles and learning items and run the recommendation profile task as part of a single process. It can be run for all employees or for a specific group as defined by an HCM filtered list.

This accelerator agent comprises the Jobs Skills Enrichment agent, Learning Skills Enrichment agent (previously called Skills Advisor for Learning) and the Recommendation Profile process. Each of these processes are run with minimal inputs to reduce the administrative overload. This helps in quickly setting up the skills in your environment and employees will start seeing quality recommendations early on.

The Grow Deployment Accelerator agent can be created and run by clicking Add on the Learning and Development Agents page. Or, you can select an existing row and click Run Agent to rerun a saved agent.

When a previously saved agent is run, you can edit and modify all its parameters, except the audience. Any changes to the agent are saved and cascaded to the linked child process rows created by this agent (that is, the Jobs Skills Enrichment agent, Learning Skills Enrichment agent and the Recommendation Profile process). When an agent row is deleted, it deletes all the linked child rows it created.

The Job Skills Enrichment and Learning Skills Enrichment child rows are listed on the Learning and Development Agents page. These child rows can’t be edited or run standalone for ensuring data integrity with the parent process. However, the recommendation profile child process can be run independently. It's listed on the Recommendation Profiles page.

List of Grow Deployment Accelerator Processes

To configure and run this process:

1. On the My Client Groups > Learning page, click Learning and Development Agents.
2. From the Add menu, select Grow Deployment Accelerator.
3. Enter a name and description for the process.
4. Specify the audience for whom recommendations are to be created. The default value is All Workers. You can also use a filtered list to define your audience.
5. For the Job Skills Enrichment and Learning Skills Enrichment agents, review and edit the number of top skills to suggest. They are defaulted to 10 and 3 skill suggestions, respectively
6. In the Recommendation Profile Settings, decide if the recommendations are to be run on an ongoing basis or one-time. Specify the start date and stop date, optionally.

8. Click Apply.
9. Select the process and click Run Process.
10. When the process completes, you will see that three child process rows are created: Jobs Skills Enrichment agent, Learning Skills Enrichment agent and Recommendation Profile.
11. Go to the respective process rows and click Download and Update to curate the skills generated by the Job Skills Enrichment and Learning Skills Enrichment agents. This downloads a Microsoft Excel workbook where you can see the skill suggestions added by Oracle AI.

This new process leverages the power of Oracle AI to set up skills on job profiles and learning items and recommend skills to employees on their Grow page with a single process run.

Steps to Enable

Here are the prerequisite steps to run this process:

• You should be using Dynamic Skills v2 or should have run the Prepare Applications for Skills Enrichment scheduled process.
• Before you can review the Excel workbook, you need to download and install the Desktop Integration Installer tool from Navigator > Tools.

Tips And Considerations

You can run this accelerator agent any number of times by changing the underlying parameters. Only the audience list cannot be modified after the initial run (if you choose to run the same agent row again).
