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.

At IBM, we co-create, co-execute and co-operate with our clients to deliver workforce, skills, culture and leadership transformation. We know how to orchestrate compelling, enterprise-wide change – and can do this at scale, at speed and securely.
