How talent is key to transforming your operating model

In this episode, we discuss how talent can be an essential component of a transformational agile operating model.

Join us as we discuss how tech companies need an agile operating model to thrive and accelerate growth in this constantly changing business environment. Developing an agile operational structure; reimagining the workplace; redefining global compliance policies; and embracing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) needs are all key principles in driving a future-fit operating model. This focus has a massive impact on the organization and workforce, specifically in tech organizations.

In this episode, we explore the importance of organizational resiliency and the need for companies to identify vulnerabilities, including those related to talent, and be purposeful in how they go about reshaping their operating models and workforce to mitigate those vulnerabilities. 

We review the need for tech companies to be more agile, including through a staffing approach that leverages new talent-sourcing technologies and capabilities.  

Over the past few years, challenges in the workforce have intensified the need for companies to navigate generational shifts and focus on employee well-being to differentiate themselves as a great workplace. 

Finally, it’s clear that transformation requires constant change, and for the talent agenda, that includes new forms of collaboration and building a winning culture. A workforce that has humans at the center can position companies for success.
