I had a conversation earlier this week with a company growing via rapid acquisition that grew so quickly they were unable to be thoughtful in their approach. As a result, they've ended up with a team struggling to manage hundreds of different pay policies and benefits plans - and with significant financial risks and compliance concerns. If you or your clients have rapid growth plans via M&A, let's connect. Our team members have experience navigating similar scenarios countless times and help to lay the foundation for successful, scalable growth.

We recently released CHRO 2030, a market study highlighting perspectives from global executives, revealing insights about the evolving role of the HR executive, workforce, and HR function. Through this study we learned that 85% of employers believe a strategic HR function is vital for business success. Yet- only 32% have a talent advantage to drive, grow, and keep the talent they need. Our study showcases the urgency with 89% agreeing that HR must shift to meet the changing talent and business needs. It is time to accelerate HR's evolution and NOW is the time to prepare for leading HR into the future with confidence.

Manufacturing leaders: 2026 isn’t “another digital year.” It’s a systemic + cultural inflection point—and the era of the slow burn is over. What stood out to me in Slalom’s 2026 Manufacturing Outlook is how clearly it connects value and resilience to a few practical moves manufacturers can make right now: unify data, modernize the core (hybrid cloud/edge), and operationalize AI beyond pilots.

Nearly two-thirds of leaders say they’re using GenAI to reshape their organizations—yet most talent strategies lag, widening skills gaps as global and economic pressures mount.​ In this environment, companies face talent paradoxes around predictability, scarcity, skills, and motivation. Addressed effectively, these tensions can shift from obstacles to powerful sources of competitive advantage.​ ​ Our framework provides a way forward through four stages of the talent life cycle:​ ​ * ANTICIPATE: Identify the skills needed to deliver on business strategy * ATTRACT: Solve the scarcity paradox by securing the right people with the right skills, even in crowded markets * DEVELOP: Use agile learning methods—like micro-learning and adaptive learning—that evolve with business needs and enable rapid skill building * ENGAGE: Create environments where employees feel valued and rewarded, reducing burnout and strengthening retention ​ These paradoxes aren’t roadblocks, they’re stepping stones. With the right framework, talent management becomes a lasting edge.​ ​ In our latest article, my co-authors—Suketu Shah, Vinciane Beauchene, Ruth Ebeling, Julie Bedard, and Chloe Skibba—and I share how organizations can put this framework into action to build a true talent advantage.​ ​ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/enxScs6d   ​#TalentStrategy #FutureofWork #TalentManagement​
