Organisations are pushed to change their architecture, i.e. “strategy, systems structure” in order to thrive in this newly disruptive environment. As a result, HR leaders will be facing a series of challenges to transform the future ways of work. Core to this transformation is the way that talent is acquired, nurtured, inspired and aspired to.

HR leaders will need to rethink their strategies for managing talent and ensure they are aligned with the new organisational strategic objectives. Increasingly they will need to develop more robust, agile and simplified approaches to manage global talent, drawing on improved analytics to identify talent segments and gaps, optimise resource allocation, integrate workforce plans and manage unavoidable risk.
