Transforming Talent to Transform the Enterprise

Share this post:

Disruption is the new normal. Business change is constant.

As organisations seek to navigate Business, Technology and now Economic Disruption, re-aligning the skills of your workforce and the ability to transform at speed, will be essential.

Key disruptive forces are shaping the next era of business reinvention.

  • Unprecedented convergence of technological, social and now supply and demand disruption will put critical stress on the business and its operating model.
  • Exponential technologies are becoming pervasive – AI, Automation, Blockchain and Cloud are likely to emerge as critical capabilities.
  • A premium on new skills and adaptability – skills relevance and how fast employees and organisations can learn are now a competitive advantage.
  • Heightened expectations for consumer-grade employee experiences – people, experience and purpose will continue to drive business outcomes.

To survive the economic shock, organisations will need to re-evaluate how they operate and what people skills they need.  The faster they can build a self-reinventing workforce and AI-powered, data-driven intelligent workflows, the more likely they are to succeed.

HR is critical in delivering this enterprise transformation; it needs to deliver the people skills and agile culture that will propel the organisation at speed. HR needs to become the main engine for business growth and agility.
