The skills at the heart of human intelligence have often been poorly defined and often referred to as “soft-skills”, “non-technical”, transversal skills, or even behavioral skills.
Soft-skills suffer from a profound problem: their credibility.
We doubt their usefulness, their definition, or even the terms that are sometimes catchall.
However, they are one of the most valuable foundations and the guarantors of business performance.
For 7 years we have been working to redefine these concepts scientifically. But what did we actually do?
In the eyes of the cognitive science experts at Rising Up, they are not neither soft, nor transversal and even less “non-technical”.
Because they are our cognitive abilities (core-skills) which are directly linked to soft-skills and in recent years we have made giant strides in their understanding.
The skills at the heart of human intelligence are just as technical, simply they are not learned in the same way.
They can be learned implicitly, from birth, through our experiences professional and personal.
At Rising Up we decided to use 3 criteria to define soft (core) skills.
They must be:
