Check out this episode of the #1 people analytics podcast with special guests, Angela Le Mathon, VP, Workforce Intelligence & Insights at Walmart & Sandra Loughlin, Chief Learning Scientist at EPAM! In this wide-ranging and highly thought-provoking conversation, Cole Napper sits down with two of the most influential voices shaping the future of workforce intelligence, skills strategy, organizational design, and AI-enabled work. Together, they tackle one of the biggest debates currently unfolding across HR, people analytics, workforce planning, and business leadership: What is the true unit of work in the AI era? Is the future built around skills, tasks, jobs, agents, or something entirely different? Sandra explains why skills remain one of the most important - and misunderstood - constructs in organizational science.
