Was corporate diversity a failed experiment?

Once upon a time, Keirsten Greggs and I had a conversation about the ability of recruiters to help shape the makeup of a company’s workforce. I don’t recall the entire conversation, but I think the gist of it was that we both think diversity is important and that recruiters can...

Recruiting strategy is hard when you can’t do the basics

Talk to any talent acquisition leader and they will tell you that their goal is to get their team to a place where they are a strategic partner with the business. They want to assist with workforce planning, advise leadership as to what skills are missing from their team, and...

Does Agile HR really work?

Ideal future state: the art of the possible

Note: A version of this post appeared on hrexecutive.com in October 2022. The excitement from an HR transformation comes from the promise of something better. That makes sense.

Reflections on the rebound

Recently, I was asked to provide some perspective on my return to full-time at IA, as more and more employees are returning – or thinking about returning – to organizations they had previously left. Where do I begin? See, I’m not a boomerang in the traditional sense because I was...

Transformation IS storytelling

Note: A version of this post first appeared on hrexecutive.com in September 2022. I remember the first time I saw the movie Inception. From the initial scene of a man washed up on a beach, I was hooked. The imagery, the music, the themes, the underlying question as to whether...
