Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill. What a company holds is workforce evidence: proof of what its people can achieve, drawn from the work itself. Every AI suggestion is grounded in the organisation's own configured framework, and a named person signs off before it reaches an employee. Assessment results are evidence for a conversation, never an automated decision about anyone's career. Acorn serves customers across HR, Talent Management and L&D teams globally.
