Meet Dennis Di Lorenzo, Director of Skilling Strategy – Workforce and Work Transformation in the AI Era at Micron

Dennis leads skilling strategy at Micron, with a focus on workforce and work transformation in the AI era.

He is connecting skills to the work where people use them: helping leaders understand what employees need to accomplish, then building development around those needs.

Dennis set out to connect Micron’s skills strategy to the tasks and responsibilities behind each role, rather than the titles and pay bands that described them.

The transformation story

How Micron turned a skilling initiative into a foundation for transformation

Skills needed a clearer connection to work

Investment in skills frameworks and content hadn’t improved productivity as expected, because job structures didn’t describe the work people did.

Map and validate the work with Reejig

Micron mapped work at task and subtask level, and leaders and experts checked it against how jobs were actually done.

Trusted work data gained executive support

A skilling summit showed executives how the work data could inform workforce planning and talent pathways. The initiative gained CEO-level support.

92%

of Micron's work data was confirmed as accurate by the people doing the work.

“This isn’t a skilling project. This is an organizational change movement.”
Rethink how contribution is measured

If people can deliver meaningful outcomes in less time, leadership and performance expectations need to evolve.

What’s next: connect development and career pathways

Micron is using its understanding of work to inform job structures, career pathways and development, and keeping that picture current as tasks change.

What other leaders can take from this

Lessons for leaders

01
Start skills with the work
Titles and pay bands can’t tell you what people need to learn. Tasks can.
02
Validate with the people doing the work
Accuracy confirmed by employees is what earns executive trust.
03
Measure outcomes, not hours
As AI changes the work, performance expectations need to follow.

Behind the transformation

How Dennis worked with Reejig to map and validate work at task level, grounding skills strategy in the work itself.

Our CEO could see, wow, there’s actual data analysis and work intelligence out there that can help this company make better decisions and ensure that we are still at the forefront of human centered work, even as technology continues to evolve and make us more efficient.
