  • Not just business

    This is a podcast where you think it will be all "business-y", and yes, it is. But so much of what they cover can be applied to your personal life. The ideas presented, shared by leaders from brands we all know, can really make you re-think the way you conduct your business and your life. Well worth the time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Workday Rising 2026: The Takeaways for HR, Finance, and IT Leaders
Q: As an industry analyst, help me understand what is going on with AI assistance and why enterprise ROI is not being delivered.
John Reed says organizations have often pursued easier applications such as generating emails, but meaningful returns require embedding AI in mission-critical processes. That increases risk, so context, controls and auditability are important to producing precise outcomes while protecting customer data.
Workday Rising 2026: The Takeaways for HR, Finance, and IT Leaders
Q: What work went into building the agents, and how did Workday's unified data core change what they can do?
Alette Blanken says the core challenge is not building the agent itself but ensuring it is governed, safe and secure, and can take reliable actions on sensitive data within customers' established governance models.
Dynamic Org Design in the Age of Agentic AI
Q: How does the learning environment change over time to support a workforce that is acquiring new skills faster than before?
Wessel says AI can act as a personalized adviser with knowledge of organizational policies and tools, providing help in the moment and generating formal learning or hands-on training tailored to an employee.
Dynamic Org Design in the Age of Agentic AI
Q: What are you thinking about, and what are customers thinking about, in terms of applying AI to optimize the human potential of their workforce?
Wessel says many organizations focus on process automation, but leaders should also prepare for second-order effects by redesigning organizational structures, rewards, skills records, and training for continual change.
What Happens When HR Leads AI Transformation?
Q: Looking ahead, what do you think is the biggest shift HR leaders need to make in the next few years?
HR leaders must become the architects of organizational capacity by reframing their role around AI-enabled workflows, balancing token spend with human talent, and building a framework where HR drives cross-functional AI adoption rather than acting as a support function. This means evolving the HR org model to focus on outcomes, creating AI-forward roles, and upskilling managers to review AI output while maintaining human oversight.
