Generative Ai, robotic automation, globalization, and other disruptions are altering the very nature of work.  How to plan?  How are organizations changing the ways they're formulating, measuring, and managing talent strategies?  How are teams shifting, prioritizing, and collaborating differently?  How are individuals educating themselves and acquiring the skills of today and tomorrow?  The expert panel will address these and related questions citing recent research, leading practices, and emerging ideas, "emerging" because there's a broad consensus that, at this stage, we're all simply trying to figure out how best to move forward.  This discussion is meant to inspire the discussions that will follow in the networking segment, as well as in the days that follow with your colleagues, family, and friends.

Where does Workforce Planning sit within an organization? How about People Analytics? What's the relationship between the two? Should they be separate or under the same leadership? What's the purpose of each? Are they different?

Ask your questions, offer your insights, and participate in the discussion on Friday, May 27th, at 9:00am PT / noon ET. RSVP here on LinkedIn then join live via this same link.

Join us Friday, May 20th, at 9:00am PT as Heather Whiteman, Ph.D. will be taking your questions and offering ideas on how individuals can develop themselves, and how organizations can develop staff to meet the unique needs of this growing field. After all, there's a gross undersupply of talent in the fields of People Analytics and Workforce Planning. How then does an individual develop oneself? How do organizations develop employees in this area? How do technology providers and consultancies find and grow talent that will inspire confidence and produce valuable, sustainable solutions? This is a topic Heather knows extremely well. First, she's lived it. Second, she's created, co-created, and delivered learning experiences that have educated hundreds in the field. Now, as Assistant Teaching Professor in Data, Design and Development for a More Just World at the University of Washington, she sees an array of educational opportunities, both quick and more in-depth, that can help develop the next generation of People Analytics professionals and leaders. Hope you'll join. Come with questions, and looking forward to seeing you then!

Mark H. Hanson, VP of Strategy at Emsi Burning Glass, will be joining Al Adamsen on Thursday, May 19th, at 9:00am PT / Noon ET to discuss Talent Intelligence -- insights into talent markets -- and how such insights enable Workforce Planning at scale. Particularly given the proliferation of skills data, how can Talent Intelligence help facilitate well-informed, conscious decisions on whether to Build, Buy, or Borrow... and, in fact, there are more B's. Join Mark and Al to explore the other ways work can get done and how best to plan accordingly.

Other questions that'll be considered:

- Does your organization understand talent markets?

- Does it know where the people will the skills it needs are located?

- Does it know how certain job families are growing or shrinking?

- How about the competitive demand for those people?

These and other questions will be addressed and explored with the live audience. Again, join the discussion on LinkedIn Live Thursday, May 19th, at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging. How can they be achieved systematically and at scale over time? What's the role of talent systems? Should such systems be inclusive? What does this mean? What about the data and analytics coming from the systems? Should these be inclusive as well? If so, how does this happen when systems are selected, being adopted, or enhanced? These and other questions will be addressed by David Herrera, Korn Ferry's Head of People and Organization Analytics. Join the discussion on LinkedIn Live Wednesday, May 18th, at 9:00am PT / 12:00pm ET. Looking forward to seeing you there

So enlightening and inspiring to talk with Sanja Licina, Ph.D. today on PAFOW Live. Rarely does someone so clearly articulate how to humanize the work experience and enable personal and team development at scale. Of course, for such goals to be achieved it takes both listening frequently and taking appropriate action at a similar tempo, and action needs to take place at various levels of an organization. As she cites: Managers have a disproportionate impact on individual well-being as well as performance and retention.

Considering this, how can organizations enable managers, leaders, and employees themselves? Enter Employee Experience and the people, processes, technology, and data that impact and shed light on what's happening day-to-day. In what Sanja calls "Empathy at Scale", organizations can quickly and accurately learn how employees are thinking and feeling in response to internal and external shifts and how, in turn, organizations can make multi-faceted, integrated adjustments. Of course, the cost of not taking such an approach is unacceptably high in most job families and in most organizations. Not only does not listening elevate flight risk, it adversely affects innovation, productivity, culture and, as stated before, individual well-being.

Sanja leaves the listener with a framework supported by a diagnostic that can help assess where your organizations is with its Employee Experience initiatives and how then it can adjust and improve over time. The framework and survey can be found here: https://info.questionpro.com/employee-experience-assessment

Finally, reconnect or meet Sanja in-person at the Josh Bersin Company's Irresistible Conference in Los Angeles, May 23rd-25th or here in the San Francisco Bay Area the evening of May 25th. We'll be at the Devil's Canyon Brewing Company in San Carlos, CA from 5:00 to 7:30pm. Learn more and register here: https://pafow.net/events/pafow-meet-up-san-carlos-ca-220525

Hope you enjoy, and to makin' great things happen!
