Creating a Workforce for Today and Tomorrow
A business lives, dies, and thrives on its talent. Whether it’s W-2 employees, freelancers, gig workers, AI bots, or a mix of all of the above, every business has to get its workforce right if it wants to remain at the top of its industry. Any company with the right people with the right skills in the right place at the right time will have the ultimate edge over its competitors. And that means few areas deserve as much priority as workforce planning and talent management.
In Talent Prophecy, Russell Klosk has broken down all the components behind a successful workforce planning model, as well as all the additional considerations behind implementation. Whether it’s creating the conditions for the model’s success within your company, building stakeholder support, or adjusting the model over time, Klosk has all the insights you need to see your company’s predictive workforce powers improve.
Using language and examples that everyone in HR, finance, operations, and the C-Suite can follow, Klosk relies on his decades of experience advising industry leaders across the Fortune 500 to bring clarity to the complexities of modeling and talent management.
With Klosk’s help, business leaders will not only be able to see the gaps in the skill sets of their current workforce but to prophecy their future needs for every strategy they might implement going forward.
