Ep 537: Strategic Workforce Planning

One of the key themes I've observed emerging over the last few years is the need for employers to think about talent holistically. To achieve this, progressive organizations are already breaking down the barriers between talent acquisition, talent management, and L&D. The central tenet is Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP).

So what does effective SWP look like, how is AI changing thought processes, and what role does Talent Acquisition need to play?
