  • No Real-Time Org Chart? Then You Don’t Actually Care About Winning

    No Real-Time Org Chart? Then You Don’t Actually Care About Winning
    Nov 12 2025
    Most companies walk into annual planning blind. They’re scrambling through spreadsheets, missing critical skill signals, and making high-impact decisions without a clear view of their own organization. The result is predictable: reorgs fail, plans stall, and HR gets blamed for problems that start with bad visibility, not bad leadership. In this episode we talk about workforce planning, data visibility, org structure, reorg failures, skill depth, and why spreadsheets keep undermining teams that should be operating on real insight – not rows and cells. Tom breaks down where planning goes sideways, what HR is missing, and how organizations can finally get ahead of 2026 instead of reacting to it. Key Takeaways Almost half of HR leaders say they don’t have clear visibility into their org. Seventy percent of reorgs fail, which shows how broken most planning processes are. Ninety-eight percent of HR teams still run planning through spreadsheets. HR isn’t the problem. The tooling is. Companies miss critical skills because they plan person to person instead of position to position. Single-threaded knowledge points make organizations fragile. Inconsistent data lenses lead to inconsistent talent decisions. Planning should be continuous, not a once-a-year fire drill. The first COVID-era RIF exposed how dangerous planning without visibility can be. Managers can’t see skill impact or team fallout when they plan in rows and columns. The real value is in the conversation, but teams never get there because they’re stuck gathering data. As organizations evolve, HR’s job is no longer reactive, it’s about building the future. But how can you lead when you don’t have a clear view of your structure, roles, and gaps? Are you prepared for 2026? Take a look at your OrgChart.

  • From Data Flow to Talent Flow: How AI Is Rewriting Work

    From Data Flow to Talent Flow: How AI Is Rewriting Work
    Oct 30 2025
    AI is shifting from assistant to operator. Which means the future of work is less about tasks and more about flow. Talent flow. Data flow. Decision flow. We sit down with Steve O’Brien to unpack what happens when intelligence becomes active in the workplace, and why the next evolution of leadership comes down to trust, clarity, and the courage to let AI run where it wins. In this episode we talk about agentic AI, workforce design, and what it really takes to evolve from managing people to orchestrating humans plus intelligent systems. We explore how CIOs and CHROs are finally colliding around data and workflow decisions, why adoption will lag hype, and why human oversight will stay central even as AI output gets scary good. If you want a clear view into the next chapter of talent and technology, this one hits. Key themes we dig into Why AI output can surpass human creativity when humans steer it Talent leaders moving from headcount management to agent oversight Trust as the make-or-break variable for AI adoption Where CIO and CHRO priorities merge in real time Why data flow is the real battlefield in modern HR tech Managing intelligent systems like team members, not tools Human creativity as the spark, not the full fire Why adoption will be slower, smarter, and people-sensitive The new leadership edge: seeing the system, not just the role Guest Info Steve O'Brien, SVP, People Solutions & Workforce Analytics, Global HR Connect with Steve on LinkedIn here.
