Podcast appearances and mentions of David Green

AI is changing tasks. Skills strategies are evolving. And yet visibility into capability, cost, and risk across the workforce often remains fragmented. So how do organisations move from reacting to workforce change, to planning for it in a way that actually shapes business outcomes? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green is joined by David Edwards, strategic workforce planning practitioner, advisor, and author of The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook, to explore what it really takes to make strategic workforce planning work in practice. Join this conversation as they discuss: Why workforce planning can feel “deceptively threatening” inside an organisation What changes when leaders shift from thinking about headcount to thinking about capability, capacity, cost, and risk over time What goes wrong when people analytics and workforce planning operate in parallel Why looking beyond permanent employees reveals hidden workforce risk How AI is forcing organisations to rethink work design, not just skills strategies The stakeholders' strategic workforce planning really needs This episode is sponsored by Worklytics.

Most athletes don't stall because they lack discipline. They stall because they accept timelines, labels, or averages before their own experience has fully played out.In this conversation, David Green talks about how timelines — especially medical or cultural averages — can become invisible ceilings if you accept them too early.David has spent decades in endurance sport and long-form adventure, where outcomes can't be rushed and certainty is rare. Over time, he learned that progress often depends less on pushing harder and more on refusing to lock into assumptions before the body has finished responding.We explore:Why recovery timelines are useful data — but dangerous identitiesHow athletes quietly stop themselves by accepting averages meant for someone elseWhy the ability to recalculate matters more than optimismHow judgment breaks down during injury, illness, or bad timing — and how to protect itThe difference between listening to your body and surrendering agencyWhy hunger, discomfort, and uncertainty are often signals — not problemsDavid also reflects on coaching, recovery, and decision-making under stress — and why the athletes who last longest learn to stay adaptable without becoming reckless.This episode isn't about ignoring expertise. It's about knowing when to use it — and when not to let it define your limits.Stay to the end for David's thoughts on recovery, intuition, and why the most resilient athletes learn to stay off the center of the bell curve.About David GreenDavid Green is an endurance athlete, retired entrepreneur, and author of Lucky: A True Story, a book I read cover to cover and  strongly recommend.

AI was supposed to make work more efficient. So why are people busier than ever? As organisations move into 2026, many leaders are realising that while technology has changed quickly, the fundamentals of how work gets done haven't kept up. Activity is increasing, output is accelerating in places - yet coordination, focus, and decision-making often feel harder than before. So what's actually going on? In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Philip Arkcoll, Founder and CEO of Worklytics, to unpack this very question. Join this dynamic duo, as they discuss: What the data reveals around where organisations were getting stuck in 2025, and how the way we work is changing in 2026 What collaboration and activity data reveals that traditional HR metrics often miss Why decision-making, not output, is becoming the primary bottleneck in AI-enabled organisations How increasing spans of control are reshaping the role, and load, of managers The emerging divide between teams and individuals who are benefiting from AI and those who aren't What HR and people analytics leaders can do to measure, diagnose, and redesign how work actually happens This episode is sponsored by Worklytics.

Why are so many HR leaders experiencing “what just happened?” moments at work - and what does it really take to respond to authoritarian leadership with courage instead of fear? That's the question Kristen Kavanaugh, Leadership Strategist, former Head of DEI and Talent Management at Tesla, explores in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast. In this episode, host David Green sits down with Kristen to unpack what happens when fear quietly becomes the operating system inside organisations, why authoritarian leadership styles are becoming increasingly normalised, and how HR leaders can reclaim their agency in environments shaped by power, pressure, and public leadership behaviour. Tune in and learn: Why fear-based leadership creates short-term gains but long-term damage Why HR leaders often underestimate the agency they actually have How Kristen's Agency Loop framework helps leaders navigate tension, misalignment, and difficult decisions What courageous leadership looks like as AI reshapes roles, skills, and power at work Why HR has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape a more humane future of work This episode is sponsored by Worklytics.

Why do organisations keep repeating the same mistakes when it comes to hybrid work - and are they now doing the same with AI? That's the question Brian Elliott, one of the most respected voices on the future of work, explores in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast. In this episode, host David Green sits down with Brian to unpack why the hybrid and return-to-office debate continues to create tension between leaders and employees, despite years of data and experience, and the striking parallels between how organisations handled hybrid work and how many are now approaching AI adoption. Tune in and learn: Why the hybrid and return-to-office debate continues to divide leaders and employees What the evidence says about making hybrid work effective for both people and the business The similarities between hybrid work decisions and today's AI adoption challenges How AI is changing entry-level roles and long-term talent pipelines The biggest barriers organisations face when trying to change long-established ways of working Why leadership behaviour ultimately determines whether change sticks This episode is sponsored by Worklytics.

As we begin a new year, it's natural to reflect on what's changed - and what's quietly no longer fit for purpose. AI investment is accelerating at pace, and autonomous and semi-autonomous agents are moving from experimentation to everyday work. And yet, many organisations are still operating with leadership models, workforce structures, and planning assumptions designed for a world where humans were the only actors in the system. In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Sandra Durth, Partner at McKinsey & Company, to explore what happens when work is no longer just human-to-human, but human-to-agent - and what that means for the future of organisations. Drawing on McKinsey's latest research, Sandra shares her perspective on: How AI-human symbiosis is reshaping the very definition of work Why traditional hierarchies and leadership models are starting to break down What “agentic leadership” really looks like in practice The implications for performance, management capability, and strategic workforce planning The biggest opportunities - and the biggest risks - HR leaders need to be paying attention to right now Links to research: The agentic organization: Contours of the next paradigm for the AI era Six shifts to build the agentic organization of the future Rethink management and talent for agentic AI Hosted on Acast.

Can AI fuel a people-first transformation at global scale? At UPS, the answer is a resounding yes. While many companies view AI through the lens of automation and efficiency, UPS is taking a radically different approach: treating AI as an enabler of human growth, not a replacement for it.

With over half a million employees and a deeply rooted culture of promotion from within, UPS faces a unique challenge: how to prepare its people for a future defined by emerging technologies - while preserving trust, purpose, and opportunity. Join them as Danelle and David explore: Why UPS is designing AI implementations to relieve frontline burdens and elevate the value of human work - not eliminate it.

Episode 43: David Edwards — Cracking the Code on Strategic Workforce PlanningDavid Edwards has spent decades transforming strategic workforce planning from organisational afterthought into boardroom priority. Currently Head of Workforce Planning at Ericsson and founder of consultancy Dark Artistry, he's built SWP functions inside global enterprises including NatWest, where he created an internal mobility programme that saved over 500 roles from redundancy. His forthcoming book, The Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook (Kogan Page, January 2026), has earned endorsements from Dave Ulrich and David Green. In this conversation, he challenges conventional thinking about what SWP actually is—and crucially, what it isn't.What We CoverWhy SWP Remains Reactive—and How to Change ThatEdwards argues that for most organisations, SWP is still "a reactive process to the setting of budgets." The real opportunity lies in extending the window for workforce preparation—moving from crisis-mode redeployment to proactive talent readiness. At NatWest, this meant identifying at-risk employees months earlier, creating genuine career pathways rather than scrambling at redundancy notices.Planning for Strategic Workforce, Not Whole WorkforceOne standout from the recent SWP Conference was Roche's methodology: rather than planning for everyone, they focus on workforce segments that are strategically critical right now. Edwards adds a counterintuitive twist—declining workforce segments deserve equal attention, as they represent the talent pool for emerging demand.Workforce Risk as the Underused LeverWith CEO tenures averaging seven years and remuneration tied to short-term results, long-term workforce stewardship gets squeezed out. Edwards suggests reframing around risk: "What is the risk the workforce poses to the successful execution of even short-term business strategy?"The £50,000 Question: Reskilling vs RedundancyFinancial Services Skills Commission research shows reskilling saves nearly £50,000 per person compared to redundancy-and-rehire cycles. Yet most organisations default to firing. Edwards connects this to mental wellbeing—having been made redundant himself, he's passionate about proving there's a better way.Key Quote"It is not so much planning strategically for the whole workforce, but planning for the workforce which is at this moment in time strategic."Practical Tips for SWP PractitionersStart using labour market data immediately—it creates compelling stories that move business leaders.Build multiple future scenarios rather than one fragile plan.Focus on workforce segments critical to current strategy, including those in decline.Frame workforce challenges as business risk, not HR administration.What David is Working OnThe Strategic Workforce Planning Handbook publishing 3rd January 2026 (UK)—pre-order at koganpage.com/SWPHLaunching Dark Artistry consultancy offering masterclasses and advisory retainersSpeaking at People Analytics World Zurich (February 2026)About David EdwardsDavid Edwards is Head of Workforce Planning at Ericsson and founder of Dark Artistry Ltd.

What happens when a business decides faith matters more than profit? Apparently, it flourishes.Hobby Lobby, founded by David and Barbara Green in Oklahoma City in 1972, is a private, family-owned corporation now with over a thousand arts-and-crafts stores nationwide. The stores are closed on Sundays, do not sell any Halloween-themed products, operate debt-free, and are run according to Biblical principles, emphasizing the value of faith and family life.David Green told me in our recent interview: “God blesses us when we do what we should do, rather than what's maybe most profitable.”“When we closed on Sunday, we did less business. When we stopped selling Halloween, we did less business. I can name seven or eight different things that ... cost us, but it was the right thing to do,“ he said. ”So I think God is asking us to do the right thing and not what's most profitable.”In 2012, the owners of Hobby Lobby sued the federal government for requiring company insurance plans to cover four specific contraceptives—two morning-after pills and two copper IUDs—that they argued could end life after conception. Facing daily fines of $1.3 million, the Green family filed a lawsuit that culminated in a 5–4 victory at the Supreme Court.In my interview with Green and his longtime friend and co-author of his many books, Bill High, we talk about their latest book “The Legacy Life.”How do we build a lasting, meaningful legacy? How do we become good stewards of our resources, time, and talents? How can families ensure their values are truly passed on to later generations—and not lost over time?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

David Green is the founder of Hobby Lobby, one of the largest privately owned arts and crafts retailers in the world. Bill High is the CEO of Legacy Stone, a nonprofit that helps families build lasting legacies of faith, generosity, and purpose. Together, they've spent decades guiding leaders, parents, and communities to think beyond success and toward significance. Today, David and Bill share how humble beginnings, hard-earned wisdom, and a lifetime of faith have shaped their understanding of legacy. They open up about building family culture, navigating conflict with humility, and redefining success not by what you leave behind but by what you set in motion. You'll also hear how how their new book, Legacy of Life, provides lessons on building a life that matters for generations to come. My friends, if you've ever wondered what kind of impact your life is making or how to pass on what truly matters to the people you love most, this conversation is for you. You'll leave reminded that your influence doesn't end with you. It begins with how you choose to live today.

David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, started with a $600 loan and grew Hobby Lobby into more than 1,000 stores, generating billions in revenue. But his proudest achievement isn't business success; it's a family of 50+ people across four generations united by a shared mission of faith and generosity.     In this episode of Unscrolled, host Matthias Walther sits down with David Green and Bill High, his family's legacy advisor and CEO of Legacy Stone. Together, they explore how the Green family built their “family constitution,” why they give away 50% of Hobby Lobby's profits, and how they are shaping a multi-generational impact through intentional planning and biblical principles. David Green, Founder & CEO of Hobby Lobby; Bill High, CEO of Legacy Stone hobbylobby.com legacystone.com Book: “The Legacy Life: Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity”   Stay up to date with Museum of the Bible on social media:  Instagram: @museumofBible  X: @museumofBible  Facebook: museumofBible  Linkedin: museumofBible  YouTube: @museumoftheBible

What if retirement isn't the goal of a good life—but a detour from your purpose? In this rich, countercultural conversation, Hobby Lobby founder David Green and legacy expert Bill High challenge the empty-nest, me-first script and offer a generational vision families can actually live. They unpack why purpose doesn't expire at 65, how multi-generation storytelling keeps a family's “chief storytellers” (grandparents!) at the center, and why mission, vision, and values—written down and rehearsed—beat hustle and highlight reels. You'll hear surprising practices from the Green family (including an annual family celebration, monthly giving meetings, and a conflict-resolution policy), a freeing definition of legacy as what you set in motion, and a simple refrain that reshapes wealth and work: earn, don't inherit; steward, don't own. For parents, teens, and grandparents alike, this episode is a practical field guide to building roots that outlast you—without losing joy in the day-to-day. Expect vivid stories (44-state camping in a pop-up, backyard tunnel cities, and taking principled risks), a reframe of “success” that prioritizes relationships over accumulation, and small moves with compounding power: draft a one-page family creed, name the ten stories your kids must know, protect a weekly Sabbath-style family meeting, and trade child-centered schedules for family-centered rhythms. Listen in, then ask: What one degree change could I set in motion today that my great-grandchildren will feel? Get your copy of The Legacy Life here Learn more about your ad choices.

Founder of Hobby Lobby, David Green, released a new book called The Legacy Life: Leading Your Family to Make a Difference for Eternity, that offers a Biblical framework for building multigenerational impact. In this conversation, hosts, Joey Svendsen and Jack Hoey, Jr. talk with David and co-author, Bill High, about the principles shared in their book, as well as a little about the Hobby Lobby story. From humble beginnings, David set out to be people-oriented in all of his business practices, including being generous with Hobby Lobby's earnings—giving half to charities and outreaches. David and Bill share what life truly is about—spoiler alert, it's not money.  The Legacy Life presents a paradigm-shifting perspective on living with eternal significance. Rather than accepting the conventional work until retirement approach, Green and High call readers to embrace a biblical, generational mindset that creates lasting impact across multiple generations. At top of episode, the host crew discuss their current heart postures toward money and share some disagreement about the vegetable, corn. David Green: Founder/CEO of Hobby Lobby employing 50,000 people at 1,000 stores in 48 states and grosses nearly $8 billion a year.

What Kind of Legacy Will You Leave? Most of us are working hard to build our businesses, provide for our families, and maybe even create a little security for the future. But what if the bigger question isn't about what you leave behind—it's about what you set in motion? In this conversation with David Green, founder of Hobby Lobby, and Bill High, CEO of The Legacy Stone, we get real about what it takes to live and lead with eternity in mind. These two men are not just business leaders who've created billions in value and impact—they're men who have chosen to orient their lives around family, faith, and generational change. And trust me, the way they've done it will challenge you to rethink everything you thought success was supposed to look like. David opens up about starting Hobby Lobby with just a $600 loan and how his focus wasn't on “exit strategies” or building wealth for wealth's sake, but on being faithful day by day. Bill shares how losing his father at 12 shaped his entire understanding of legacy—and why waiting until “someday” to invest in your family is a mistake you can't afford to make. Together, they break down practical principles like creating a family vision, crafting a code of conduct, and the power of storytelling to pass down values for generations. This conversation hit me hard on a personal level. I shared how my own father made one decision to get sober when I was 15, and how that single choice altered the course of my family forever. These stories are proof that it's never too late to change the trajectory of your life—or your family's future. Whether you're a CEO, an entrepreneur, or just someone trying to be more present with your loved ones, you're going to walk away from this episode with clarity on what matters most. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to succeed in business without losing sight of your family or your faith, this interview is living proof that you can. And not just that—you must. Key Takeaways: Why legacy isn't just about what you leave behind, but what you set in motion How to create a family vision, mission, and code of conduct that lasts for generations The power of storytelling to instill values in your children and grandchildren Why financial success alone is never the true measure of wealth How one small, faithful decision can change your family's trajectory forever This isn't just a business conversation—it's a life conversation. One that will inspire you to think bigger, live with intention, and build something that outlasts you. —Max Out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
