Talent Management
“Executives should treat EX [employee experience] as seriously as CX (customer experience) by being more scientific and more tailored in their approach.”
Talent Management

Talent Management
“All too often, as we talk about AI and generative AI, we jump to the conclusion of job loss. One of the findings from our report is that it’s much more a story of augmentation. . . . how can we help augment professions and help free up time so that it can then be repurposed?”
