Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

"Stop pushing skills validation on everyone." | Why ServiceNow uses 'pull' talent strategies to find critical engineers.
Q: Can you walk through the decision process in ServiceNow for selecting external technology partners like TechWolf?
ServiceNow's approach includes an RFP/selection experience, weighing vendors on alignment of capabilities, and valuing a partner whose technology—particularly the skills and work intelligence stack—can knit data across skills, tasks, performance, and learning to drive actionable insights.
"Stop pushing skills validation on everyone." | Why ServiceNow uses 'pull' talent strategies to find critical engineers.
Q: What was the decision process to go for external technologies to support this journey, and how do you pick what works for you?
The decision process involves a competitive landscape of vendors with overlapping capabilities, a preference for partners with deep specialisms, and valuing TechWolf's skills engine for powering the talent signature and the integration capabilities that feed ServiceNow's data lake, enabling the UX layer to act on the data.
"There would actually be a people shortage" | McKinsey’s Sven Smit & Anu Madgavkar on AI, Agents, Robots, and the $100-Trillion Economy.
Q: Which entry-level and feeder roles would you automate and which would you deliberately protect?
The view is that most entry-level roles rely on tacit knowledge and that the focus should be on right-sizing those roles and accelerating growth in tacit judgment, rather than simply eliminating jobs. The conversation emphasizes developing people quickly to take on higher judgment tasks as AI is introduced, rather than wholesale cuts in entry-level hiring.

Q: What were the biggest hurdles in gaining organizational buy-in for skills data?
Early on there was skepticism about the hook for product teams; the team shifted from a broad, horizontal initiative to targeting specific, high-value use cases like internal mobility and targeted matching, which helped gain traction.
