What are we talking about today?Â
Digital Transformation as a comprehensive topic is obviously not the point of today's meeting
Strategy & Investments, Organizational design, etc are not part of the scope today.Â
Today, we are simply focusing on the People & Talent piece of the transformation
That said, it isn't just talking about people;Â
Culture & behaviors, ways of working, hiring and retention are things that HAVE to be in harmony to be successful in our transformation, and so there will be a fair amount of discussion on those topics before we get into talking about individuals. It is important that we are on the same page as to the direction those pieces are headed, so that we can talk about talent succeeding in that context- otherwise we are again matching people to something we don't understand.Â
So it may feel like we are spending too much time discussing culture and ways of working, but you have to know that to effectively discuss the talent.Â
