Podcasts about Foresight

Recruiting Future is a podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing their strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.  This episode is about talent. Economic uncertainty and disruption has reached a whole new level in 2025, with companies freezing hiring plans and candidates hesitating to make career moves. But if talent attraction strategies fail during market volatility, how can organizations that need scarce and specialized talent survive and thrive?  So, when candidate markets are tight, how can TA teams turn uncertainty into opportunity? My guest this week is Dave Napeloni, Senior Vice President of Global Life Sciences at Korn Ferry. Dave's team is helping life sciences companies navigate talent scarcity by transforming how they engage with candidates during economic disruption. Dave has valuable insights to share, on effective talent engagement and pipeline building, that are changing how organizations compete for talent in these uncertain times. In the interview, we discuss The talent market challenges in Life Sciences Dealing with long-term uncertainty  The impact on candidate behavior How successful companies are using volatility as a competitive advantage  The critical importance of EVPs and employer branding Building candidate engagement through purpose-driven messaging Extending the role of TA beyond onboarding and into talent management How AI can radically improve the candidate experience What the future might look like Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Recruiting Future is a podcast designed to help Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology. This episode is about technology. Most HR tech projects end in disappointment because organizations focus all their energy on implementation rather than adoption. If successful transformation is dependent on what happens after the go-live date, how can employers build sustainable tech adoption that delivers lasting business value? My guest this week is Melissa Hojwall, Global HR Tech Leader at H&M. H&M has over 100,000 employees, the majority of whom are frontline workers, making internal tech adoption both challenging and high impact. In conversation, Melissa talks about the strategies around implementation, adoption, and continuous change management that help make TA and HR Tech projects successful. In the interview, we discuss: HR Digitisation at H&M How AI can solve TA & HR challenges Predictive analytics The skills needed to get the right balance between humans and AI Tech adoption and change agility Investing in what happens after the go-live date Using resistance as a superpower Finding and showcasing the benefits to the bottom line Disrupting how we interface with technology What does the future of HR Tech look like?

Charting Your Course: A Business Navigation System That Aligns Strategy, Intuition & Purpose In this episode, we dive deep with Tim Dwyer, a visionary who has spent over three decades developing a true "Google Maps for business"—a navigation system that integrates logical strategy, heart-centered leadership, and deep intuition. Tim's entrepreneurial spark ignited at age 12 during a petrol strike in Australia, selling coffee to stranded drivers. That ingenuity evolved into a career dedicated to helping leaders and organizations find their true north in complex business environments. Emotional Intelligence: The Leadership Edge We Can't Ignore Tim and I explore how tapping into our emotional intelligence is not just a personal growth strategy—it's essential for leadership effectiveness. When decisions flow from inner alignment, clarity and momentum follow. When there's chaos? That's your signpost that something's off. Tim shares his emotional mapping system, while I add insight on how untrained managers often default to poor leadership patterns due to lack of emotional grounding and practical guidance. Emotional Ownership: The Cornerstone of Healthy Work Cultures We take an honest look at the drama that unfolds when leaders deflect emotional responsibility. Tim breaks down how full ownership of our emotional responses dismantles blame and invites maturity into the workplace. I couldn't agree more—teams thrive when leaders stop pointing fingers and start showing up with accountability and self-awareness. Foresight in Leadership: Seeing the Iceberg Before You Hit It I share a recent conversation with an organization considering a bold move they may not be ready for—an all-too-common scenario. Using an oceanic analogy, I explain why leaders must develop foresight to navigate risk and avoid future burnout. It's not about playing it safe—it's about making sure your ship is seaworthy before you launch into deeper waters. Capability Development: Growing Beyond Your Comfort Zone Tim outlines the predictable stages of business growth and the leadership capacity needed at each level. Whether you're leading a team of 10 or scaling to 1,000, the same principles apply: sharpen your skills, solidify your culture, and develop internal navigational systems that support sustainable growth. And yes, this applies whether your team is made up of employees, freelancers, or AI tools—culture and capability remain your anchors. Curiosity, Reflection & Purpose: A Blueprint for Leadership Renewal We talk about the often-overlooked power of self-reflection. I encourage listeners—whether you're on the front lines or in the C-suite—to step back, get curious, and revisit past experiences with grace, not judgment. The goal? To realign with your purpose and reignite your leadership impact. Distraction is the disease—curiosity is the cure. Authentic Culture: More Than Ping-Pong Tables and Mission Statements Tim shares a powerful case study of a software company that had great perks but lacked true cultural alignment. Once the leadership reconnected with their original vision and re-established meaningful cultural agreements, collaboration and energy returned. The result? A culture that magnetized both top talent and ideal customers. As I often say—culture isn't what you write on the wall, it's how your people feel every day they walk through the door. Tim's Upcoming Book: A Must-Read for Every Leader Navigating Change We wrap with a preview of Tim's upcoming book, launching August 2025. Packed with stories, case studies, and actionable strategies, this book is designed for businesses of every size—from startups to scaling giants. You can pre-order your copy now at tolemy.com. If you're serious about leading with clarity and growing without losing your soul, this one's for you.

Recruiting Future is a podcast designed to help Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.  This episode is about talent and technology. Many employers are facing an increasing problem with candidates' use of AI. Along with dramatically increasing application numbers, AI tools are, in some cases, allowing potentially unsuitable candidates to jump to the front of the queue, endangering the integrity of the recruiting process. One potential answer to this challenge is to deploy science-based psychometric testing much earlier in the process than has traditionally been the case. So, how should assessment tools and technologies evolve to combine scientific robustness, candidate engagement, and resilience against AI manipulation My guest this week is Alan Bourne, Partner at Omatti and an expert in assessment innovation. Alan highlights the issues with legacy assessment tools and sets out a blueprint for transformation that embraces AI to enhance both the candidate experience and the predictive accuracy of the tools. We also discuss the role of assessment in the move to skills organisations. In the interview, we discuss: The real impact of candidates using AI Why resumes & interviews are the least effective and least fair way of assessment Defensive proctoring versus proactive innovation Using AI to develop immersive, simulation-based assessments Getting the right balance between science and engagement The progress of skills-based hiring The danger of just replacing experience-based CVs with experience-based skills What will the future look like?

Recruiting Future is the podcast that helps Talent Acquisition teams drive measurable impact by developing strategic capability in Foresight, Influence, Talent, and Technology.  Skills shortages in emerging technologies have reached critical levels, with companies all fishing in the same tiny talent pool for experienced professionals. But if these technologies are relatively new, why assume only experienced talent can work with them?  In such fast-moving industries, how can companies develop their early career hiring strategies to ensure they get net new talent who can be productive immediately? My guest this week is Tan Moorthy, CEO of Revature. Revature is helping employers build pipelines of entry-level talent by giving high-potential hires the training and development they need to be effective from their first day. In our conversation, Tan gives us an insight into a structured approach to identifying, developing, and deploying new talent, which is transforming how organizations solve their tech talent shortages. In the interview, we discuss: Are employers looking at tech skill shortages through the wrong lens? The ABCD of in-demand skills (AI, big data, cloud, digital) AI Native entry-level talent Critical thinking and problem solving What employers get wrong about upskilling Cohorts, structure, and impact metrics Talent as a C-Suite priority The process to identify, develop, and deploy net new talent The role of technology and data Focusing humans on unique human skills What does the future look like Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Celebrating 10 years of Recruiting Future! Over the last 10 years, I've interviewed hundreds of TA Leaders as well as CEOs, thought leaders, and the people building the technology that drives the industry forward. Back in 2015, we thought the pace of change was super fast and that the level of disruption was off the scale with social and mobile technologies reshaping how we communicated. In some ways, we might think it was impossible back then to imagine the world we live in now, but many of the changes we see in TA today have been in the works for a long time. The speed of change in talent acquisition is governed by the tension between organizational inertia, which slows things down, and external events like the pandemic, which can cause things to move at lightning-fast speeds. The Generative AI revolution is most definitely in the latter category. We are on the cusp of the most significant changes to TA and recruiting we have ever seen. So, as a TA Leader, how do you manage that change and make sure you and your organization are fit for the future? Over the last few months, I've been using the power of AI to unlock the Recruiting Future archive and model the mindset and behaviours of the most successful TA leaders that I've interviewed. People who have changed how their organizations think about talent, who thrive on disruption as a catalyst for positive change, and who know how to use technology to enable their vision. These leaders all have four things in common. They use foresight to understand and shape the future, they build influence with the most senior stakeholders in their organisation, they think different to create innovative talent strategies and they use the impact of new technologies to accelerate change. Foresight, Influence, Talent and Technology = Fitt This episode features clips from interviews with two TA leaders, two CHROs, a Behavioural Scientist, and a Futurist talking about these four key areas and what you and your teams can do to be fit for the future. Featuring: Laszlo Bock, former CHRO at Google, on skills Lisa Montieth, Head of TA UK at HSBC on foresight Lyndsey Taylor, Global Head of HR Transformation at Brooks Automation, on influence Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair at Ogilivy UK, on talent Laura Coccaro, Chief People Officer at iCIMS on technology Kevin Wheeler, Future Of Talent Institute, on job displacement Follow this podcast on Apple Podcasts.

Foresight Solar Fund Ltd's Toby Virno talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's income performance, interest rate impacts, and strategic direction. Virno highlighted that since its IPO, the company has consistently paid a growing dividend and currently offers a yield of around 10% at prevailing share prices. "We've never missed a payment," he noted, reinforcing the company's income reliability. He addressed the macroeconomic outlook, including the Bank of England's potential interest rate cuts, saying this environment could support growth by driving electricity demand. Importantly, he explained that Foresight Solar's share price historically correlates with UK government bond yields, meaning falling rates may positively impact valuation. Foresight Solar has taken measures to narrow the discount to net asset value, including enhancing its dividend and deploying a proprietary development pipeline. Virno stated the pipeline includes nearly one gigawatt under development globally, which offers opportunities for capital growth through development, construction, and operations. The investment strategy stands on four pillars: income and growth, geographic diversification, operational excellence, and specialist management through Foresight Group. “Operational portfolio will continue to generate revenue … distributed to shareholders in the form of quarterly dividends,” Virno said.

This week, frequent guest and friend of The Futurists, Ross Dawson, takes over the hosting chair to speak with Joanna Lepore about Foresight and Vision(s) of the Future. Ross, founder of AHT Group (Advanced Human Technologies Group) and the futures think tank Future Exploration Network, introduces us to Joanna Lepore. In 2024, Joanna founded and now co-leads Foresight Inside Group (FIG), an invite-only network for corporate futurists. Previously, she established and led Foresight at McDonald's global HQ and Mars Wrigley, helping to push the strategies of some of the world's best-known brands into the future. Motivated by the power of diverse perspectives, she also created and hosts Looking Outside, a podcast to share those perspectives. This episode is packed with powerful and practical insights into the future, offering inspiration on how to seize today's opportunities and drive change in a transforming world. 

Strategic foresight is the visionary practice of anticipating what's ahead—so you can make bold, future-shaping decisions today that turn uncertainty into opportunity. In this week's episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with futurist and designer Donna DuPont, founder and chief strategist at Purple Compass, to discuss how to anticipate the future and make better decisions. Donna's work is all about helping organizations embrace the power of strategic foresight—not the crystal ball kind, but the kind that empowers leaders to make bold, intelligent decisions today that position their organizations for tomorrow. Donna shares how foresight allows leaders to improve their relationship with uncertainty and confidently navigate disruption. She breaks down the difference between forecasting and foresight, explains how to develop anticipatory thinking skills, and offers actionable advice for integrating a culture of foresight into your team and company. I also share my own journey of applying foresight to lead StoneAge through strategic shifts, innovation challenges, and industry disruption. From creating a "what the future looks like" document in 2018 to guiding bold strategic moves, I've seen firsthand how powerful future-priming and pattern recognition can be. This episode is full of practical wisdom, thought-provoking insights, and a whole lot of energy around why developing future-ready leadership is more important than ever. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • What strategic foresight really is—and what it's not • How to practice foresight through horizon scanning and scenario planning • Why courage and vulnerability are key in navigating uncertainty • How confirmation bias derails smart strategy (and how to overcome it) • What you can do today to start building a future-proof culture in your organization Key Takeaways: 1. Foresight isn't about predicting the future—it's about understanding emerging patterns and making empowered decisions. 2. You don't need to overhaul everything. Start small. Choose a product, problem, or strategic focus area and test out anticipatory thinking there. 3. Innovation is messy, and that's okay. Courage, not perfection, leads to breakthrough moments. 4. Challenge your assumptions. Just because you think it doesn't make it true. 5. Hope is a mindset. Leaders who stay curious, connected, and optimistic are best positioned to create a better future. About Donna DuPont: Donna is a professional futurist and founder of Purple Compass, a consultancy that helps leaders and organizations develop future-readiness through foresight practices. She recently launched the Future Intelligence Lab and The Future Minds Coaching Collective—a free, monthly coaching experience for anyone looking to deepen their foresight skills. You can learn more at purplecompass.ca. Let's Reflect Forward: Donna's insight reminds us that the ability to reflect on past experiences and bring those lessons forward into the future is a powerful leadership skill. As she puts it, "Each experience allows us to learn something new about ourselves… and shape a personal future that opens up new opportunity."

Most high achievers crave clarity but unknowingly crowd out their own intuition with more productivity. If clearing distractions hasn't brought the insight you expected, maybe the real work isn't in doing. It's in listening.   In this episode, Corinne Morahan explores why the habit of staying busy can become a barrier to intuition. She shares her own experience of stripping away clutter, only to realize that empty space doesn't automatically lead to deeper self-trust. Instead of filling every free moment with more tasks, what if the real shift comes from creating room for stillness?   Corinne challenges the belief that productivity equals progress. She offers a different approach: one that invites curiosity, quiet, and self-trust. If you've ever wondered why clarity still feels out of reach despite all your effort, this episode might change the way you think about success.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction  01:04 Productivity Blocking Intuition 02:09 The Surprise of Untapped Intuition 03:53 Agency Over Our Lives 05:17 Aligning Inputs with Desired Direction 07:02 The Struggle of Knowing What You Want 08:48 Commitment to Stop Making Excuses 10:13 Observing Thoughts Without Expectation 11:18 The Importance of Space and Silence 12:23 Connecting to Yourself Daily 13:18 Intuitive Decisions in Life 15:06 Logic vs. Intuition in Decision Making 16:09 Creating Space for Intuition 16:30 Next Level is About Listening   Links Join me for Foresight: a four-week Mastermind designed to help you trust yourself again: https://www.corinnemorahan.com/foresight   Connect with Corinne! https://www.gridandglam.com/ https://www.corinnemorahan.com/ https://www.instagram.com/gridandglam/ https://www.instagram.com/corinnemorahan/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/corinnemorahan/ https://www.facebook.com/gridandglam Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Welcome back to part three of 'Leading the Revolution' with the legendary Gary Hamel. In this episode of The Innovation Show, Gary and host Aiden dive deep into two key chapters from Gary's books, exploring the principle of learning to be your own seer and the critical distinction between imagination and prediction in innovation.

Today's podcast features a discussion between Eric Triplett and Tyson Matyas about the importance of foresight, not only in pond keeping but also in business. Enjoy personal stories about when foresight, or a lack thereof, and how it impacted their lives and businesses. The conversation covers pond construction, maintenance, and fish care, exploring whether foresight is instinctual or if it can be taught. The discussion also touches on the idea that hindsight can build foresight, as learning from past mistakes is crucial. Get ready for valuable insights for pond owners and contractors alike, emphasizing the need to plan and learn from experiences to achieve better results in both life and business.   Key Takeaways:   When installing a pond liner, leave it long and wild at the edges to act as a weed barrier and avoid cutting it short. Plan for a way to easily drain your pond, preferably through a ball valve integrated into the plumbing system. Incorporate lighting into your pond's initial design, rather than adding it later, to ensure proper placement and prevent visible wires. Think about how you want your fish population to evolve in the future, whether you plan to keep them long-term or frequently change them, so you can build your pond to suit that plan. Train yourself to have better foresight by being more thoughtful and self-aware and learning from mistakes.   Links to resources:    Contractor Sales Secrets: ContractorSalesSecrets.com   Water Garden Expo 2025: WGExpo.com   The All American Koi Show: AllAmericanKoiShow.com   Fitz Fish Ponds: Koi Trips   Book A Call With Triplett: Call with Triplett   The Pond Digger - https://theponddigger.com/   LA Pet Fair: https://www.lapetfair.com/    You can also check out The Pond Digger's products at:   http://helixpondfiltration.com/    TWT Contractor Circle   TWT Contractor Power Circle   And follow his adventures in the pond world at: Instagram  Facebook  TikTok
