Uncertainty has become the norm at work. Markets shift. Culture is shaky. Roles change mid-stride. And yet, many organizations are still trying to plan for the future using old assumptions that no longer hold. In today's environment, the question isn't how to create stability — it's how to build a talent strategy that can adapt when the ground keeps moving.

My special guest today is Steve Cadigan, and he's simplifying how to build a talent strategy that thrives in uncertainty. Steve is known for challenging traditional workforce planning and helping leaders rethink how they attract, develop, and retain talent in a world where adaptability matters more than predictability.

Here's how.

• What a resilient talent strategy actually looks like today — and why agile, scenario-based thinking is replacing traditional workforce planning.

• Why stability is no longer the goal, and how leaders can build cultures where uncertainty becomes an advantage instead of a threat.

• Which "old world" recruiting and retention practices organizations should stop using immediately — and what should replace them.

• How leaders can help their people grow when roles and skill needs are changing faster than ever.

• …and ultimately, one piece of advice for HR and business leaders navigating the volatile talent market ahead.

It's time to #DoTheThing!
