He offers valuable insights into how military concepts like "battle grouping" – bringing together diverse capabilities towards clear outcomes – can transform talent strategy in the corporate world. His experience reimagining talent pathways in the military and later applying competency science at Korn Ferry reveals the power of objective, future-focused talent management.The discussion delves into the challenges of demand-side workforce planning, with Chris highlighting how organisations often struggle with long-term capability building when faced with immediate business pressures. His work on criticality assessments for submarine servicing exposed stark talent shortages, necessitating innovative approaches to capability development with multi-year horizons.As Chris embarks on his next chapter establishing an advisory practice focused on organisational effectiveness, he shares three essential tips for strategic workforce planning professionals: get strategic clarity, build relationships across the business, and truly understand how the business creates value. His perspective on HR functions becoming truly strategic partners rather than cost centres offers a compelling vision for the future of talent management.Until next time, stay curious, stay strategic, and most importantly, stay intelligent!

How is the intersection of technology and human experience reshaping our workplaces? In this episode, we explore the dynamic evolution of work environments, where technology and human-centric practices are becoming increasingly intertwined. You'll hear about leveraging technology to create more inclusive and equitable workplaces, simplifying work processes through AI, and shifting the focus from productivity to impact. Stela Lupushor is the founder of Reframe.Work Inc. She is also Program Director for the Strategic Workforce Planning and Talent Management Councils, as well as the Human Capital Analytics Institute Senior Fellow shaping the research agenda of the Conference Board. She offers a unique blend of expertise in her latest co-authored book, "Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace." If you enjoy the show, please rate it on Spotify or iTunes. Your ratings help more people like you discover the podcast! Episode Highlights Insights on technology's immediate impact in today's work environment. Strategies for effective, real-time workplace measurements. Tips on reducing workplace friction to boost productivity and well-being. Understanding the importance of everyday moments in employee retention. Recognizing the power of addressing small, individual workplace challenges. Balancing employee privacy with organizational needs. Redesigning workspaces for mental health and improved focus. Stela's view on the greatest unmet wellbeing need at work today “From a well-being perspective, [it's] the need to interact with an organization that is not designed to work around us. We look at the technology stack as something that IT managers manage, and it's all about cost containment and making it secure. And that comes at a cost of a lot of compliance training, not to say that none of that is necessary; it's very important. But it's more compliance-driven than experience-driven. When we think about the physical workspace, it's again designed to minimize the costs and maximize the number of people that can fit within a square foot. And not necessarily designed to have the environment work around us for what we need, whether we have a permanent or temporary disability, whether we need quiet space at that specific time of the day. And with the combination of both digital world and physical world, we increasingly live in that in-between, regardless of what work you do, there's bound to be technology involved. So, redesigning that experience, to allow us to seamlessly move through it without having context switching and friction points and forgotten passwords, inaccessible devices, will reduce the mental health impact, mental taxing in dramatic ways and really leave space for us to do the focused work or whatever it is that makes sense for us as humans at that time.” What "working with humans" means to Stela “It is about creating the environment where people can truly maximize their human potential at work. I don't believe that there are bad people for jobs. I don't believe there are bad jobs for people; I believe there's a mismatch. So, the more we can think through the lens of what are the superpowers of this individual, or what are the superpowers they would like to have, and how we can create that environment for them to thrive? I think that's when organizations succeed. That's when individuals are loyal and bring their full potential. That's when the economy benefits, and that's when families at home benefit as well. So, it's a net positive.” Resources Follow: Stela on LinkedIn Read: Humans at Work: The Art and Practice of Creating the Hybrid Workplace For more episodes that give you fresh perspectives and actionable ideas for making working with other humans better for everyone, visit our website at https://en.peoplefocusconsulting.com/resources/podcast/ ©Michael Glazer

In his book, Good to Great, Jim Collins emphasized the importance of “who” over “what” – by stating that “those who build great organizations make sure they have the right people on the bus and the right people in the key seats before they figure out where to drive the bus”. But in today's rapidly evolving corporate culture, underscored by gig economy, great resignation, hybrid workplaces, how do organizations go about navigating the selective talent pool, in order to bring the right people to the right seats? To shed a light on this very topic, I am joined by Frank Sofia. He is the Head of Executive Talent Attraction for the Americas, across all markets and lines of business. Prior to his current role, Frank served as the VP of Strategic Workforce Planning for North America Sales. Throughout his 16-year career at SAP Frank has challenged himself to take on new opportunities across HR functions to gain deep expertise in HR Strategy, Workforce planning, Recruiting, Change management and Organizational development. He is incredibly passionate about HR transformation and enabling others to achieve their goals. Frank holds a Masters in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from West Chester University and a BA in Psychology from Temple University.

What Is Strategic Workforce Planning? Strategic Planning See 1 of 100 New Videos on this topic & more. In fact, our research specifically proves 8 Critical Success Factors for small & medium-sized businesses. Visit www.BestBusinessCoach.ca for more info. Or https://www.members.bestbusinesscoach.ca/success-research/ for more on the research behind it. Transcript: It's the planning process you go through to anticipate your hiring schedule. For example: Maybe there is a labor shortage. Or you don't get the revenue expected. Or workforce demographics are changing. Or the skill set needed is changing. Or a new development changes things. Strategic workforce planning is planning around all these. It's trying to plan, budget and take them into account. For example, if people deliver your services. Let's say you're a contractor. You get a big contract. You have to figure out: Who do I need to hire? What stage of the project do I need them? What do I do if I fail to find these people? It's important because it helps you consider all those options before starting. The concept of planning is: When you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It's impossible to predict the future. But through the planning process, you can have "if/then" concepts in place if needed. You'll be better off and faster to act if things go wrong.

Andreas De NeveIs Co-Founder en CEO van TechWolf, een Gentse machine learning start-up die artificiële intelligentie gebruikt om mensen, jobs en opleiding te connecteren op basis van skills. Vond de aanleiding tot de start-up als student Computerwetenschappen samen met zijn twee co-founders toen ze het toch wat vreemd begonnen te vinden dat studenten steevast in de horeca aan het klussen gaan, terwijl ze de juiste vaardigheden hebben om, bijvoorbeeld, te gaan werken in de druk gezochte functies in en rond ICT en digitalisering. Vandaar ook het grotere idee: waarom niet kandidaten en vacatures matchen op basis van skills in plaats van een cv?Start vanuit de overtuiging: gebruik AI om het personeelsbestand van morgen te vormen met behulp van de medewerkersdata die je vandaag hebt.Maakt het mogelijk dat bedrijven in één oogopslag kunnen zien welke vaardigheden aanwezig zijn in welke afdelingen en hoe die in de loop der jaren geëvolueerd zijn. Zo wordt strategic workforce planning een heel stuk makkelijker.Weet van ons allemaal dat onze job drastisch zal veranderen, gewoonweg omdat de omgeving, de business en de technologie (steeds sneller) blijven veranderen.Ziet strategic workforce planning en talent management niet als een foto, maar als een video: alles en iedereen is constant in beweging. Merkt op dat upskilling en reskilling het nieuwe rekruteren wordt.Werkt API first, TechWolf heeft dus geen platform, geen beginscherm, geen log-in-scherm. “We zijn niet de 31ste of 41ste tool, we communiceren wel met alle tools, het gaat om de data! De nuttigde data gaan wij aggregeren, interpreteren en presenteren, zodat ermee gewerkt kan worden. Kortom, TechWolf is geen fiets, het is wel een elektromotor die je op je bestaande fietsen plaatst.” “Wat kan er best door AI gebeuren? En wat doen we best als persoon? Waarom die vraag? Er zijn al zo'n 30 jaar computers die de geniaalste schaakspelers kunnen verslaan, maar er is nog altijd geen enkele computer die dit gesprek kan genereren. Wat zegt dat over rekrutering? Recruiters hebben gemiddeld 7 seconden om een cv te bekijken. Zo'n grove filtering laat je dus best niet door een mens gebeuren. Ons algoritme kan 20.000 cv's in een seconde lezen en kan voor elk van die cv's zeggen hoe geschikt die is voor een bepaalde job.”Beluister de podcast, duik in de even intrigerende als verbazingwekkende wereld van artificiële intelligentie én de (verregaande) consequenties voor HR.+++Honger naar meer?

Sempre più le relazioni professionali e sociali all’interno delle organizzazioni aziendali sono meno aderenti alle strutture gerarchiche; le persone condividono, parlano, comunicano, partecipano in maniera libera e differenziata rispetto agli schemi imposti e quindi inevitabilmente le organizzazioni devono tener presente i diversi livelli di comunicazione e adattare le strutture alle necessità.Bisogna quindi definire la futura forza lavoro necessaria all’organizzazione strutturando un piano strategico a supporto.Lo Strategic Workforce Planning è quel processo, sistematico e sistemico, che supporta la strutturazione della nuova forza lavoro utile all’organizzazione.Oggi, più che mai, le aziende sono soggette ad un turn over elevato, trattenere i talenti è diventato difficoltoso perché ricercano valori, tangibili e intangibili, non sempre presenti nelle realtà aziendali, e in taluni casi risulta anche difficoltoso identificare quanto quella risorse sia idonea ed efficace nel complito che svolge.L’utilizzo dello Strategic Workforce Planning sta proprio nel determinare il gap esistente tra reale ed ottimale, nell’individuare, tramite assessment, le skills e i knowledge interne ed esterne, le regole e le azioni utili a colmare il gap esistente, e trovare strumenti adeguati per trattenere i talenti e attrarne di nuovi, tutto stabilito su un piano pluriennale basato su una visione dell’organizzazione futura.Per poter identificare una strategia, di lungo periodo, per la nuova forza lavoro aziendale bisogna:-DEFINIRE IL PIANO, stabilire gli obiettivi e lo scopo, i ruoli e il board, comprendere di quali persone abbiamo bisogno-MAPPARE IL CAMBIAMENTO, puntando sui benefici del cambiamento, i diversi modelli e strumenti di lavoro, identificare figure professionali e i ruoli di cui abbiamo bisogno-DEFINIRE LA NUOVA FORZA LAVORO, Comprendere quali nuove professionalità necessitiamo in virtù dell’evoluzione del mercato (es. data scientist?), stabilire di quante persone e figure professionali abbiamo bisogno-COMPRENDERE L’ATTUALE FORZA LAVORO, determinare il gap esistente tra attuale forza lavoro e futura-SVILUPPARE E ATTIVARE IL PIANO, Individuare le principali motivazioni di loyalty interna e turnover e sviluppare un piano che consegni coerenza con il giusto team, le giuste skills e un management che gestisca il cambiamento. Costruire piano di sviluppo tenendo presente gli obiettivi di forza lavoro future (formazione, affiancamento, progetti di co-design ecc)-STABILIRE LE REGOLE DI MISURAZIONE E MONITORAGGIO, per verificare gli step di avanzamento (semestrali) e porre in essere nuovi progetti.E in ultimo sono da implementare politiche di “inclusione” che valorizzino le diversità e permettano la “contaminazione” sviluppando competenze e capacità, attivando nuove idee, nuovi progetti e compartecipazione.La diversità può essere di genere, cultura, religione, razza e politica e le nuove organizzazioni devono includere e quindi abbracciare tutte le diversità per valori comuni.I fattori abilitanti di un Strategic Workplace Planning sono:-I valori aziendali, nella responsabilità, nella delega, nella cultura della delivery basata sulla sperimentazione, la cultura del fallimento come processo di miglioramento, nell’inclusione, nella diversità e nella fiducia.-La gestione delle risorse, con un piano chiaro e condiviso, con attività di partecipazione e condivisione, implementazione di strumenti di aggregazione e condivisione, piano formativo costante, continuo, di gruppo e personalizzato.-Skills e knowledge individuali, come lo sviluppo della resilienza legata al fallimento e le responsabilità, attivare capacità di ascolto, abituarsi al lavoro non localizzato, sviluppo pensiero laterale e capacità sociali.

Workforce strategy and people analytics are “absolutely complimentary,” according to Aon’s Director of People Analytics, Neil Shastri. Strategic workforce planning isn’t going anywhere, which makes the need for core skills among people as important as ever: teamwork, learning comprehension and long-term planning ability, for example. As the rate of change in the workplace picks up, each shift makes workforce planning even more relevant to all employees that contribute to business success. Organizations and their people must be ready to adopt new processes and best practices, especially among the rise of digital transformation, new technology and bucket loads of data. Join Shastri and his partner, Aon’s People Analytics Practice Leader, Ranjan Dutta, to learn about building workforce planning capabilities, how new tech can (and should) help the process, and what matters most in using strategic workforce planning and people analytics to leverage data.

Workforce planning has a remarkable impact on business success, and it’s become quite the priority for organizational leaders today. Workforce planning has wiggled its way into business initiatives, allowing for better decisions, improved retention, accomplishment of goals and more. Some might say ownership of workforce planning remains unclear, but the best answer is that workforce planning is a collaborative effort from HR, operations, and finance teams. If done the right way, support comes from the top down – leaders must really believe in workforce planning, drive it and ensure that the company, as a whole adopts it and really understands how it can benefit the business.
