What if the reason HR isn’t influencing strategy… is because it’s looking in the wrong direction?

That’s the powerful idea Jenny Dearborn - Chief People Strategy Officer at BTS and co-author of The Insight-Driven Leader - unpacks with host David Green in this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast.

Drawing on her experience as a senior HR leader in some of the world’s biggest companies, Jenny makes the case for a bold shift: from reactive, rear-view reporting to forward-looking, insight-driven action.

Join them, as they explore:

• Why “data-driven” HR often falls short, and what insight-driven really means

• The risks of relying on outdated metrics that don’t influence business decisions

• What CEOs should be demanding from HR leaders

• How top organisations are transforming HR into a strategic, insight-generating function

• What it looks like when HR operates like a product organisation

• How CHROs can build trusted partnerships with CFOs and CIOs

If you’re ready to unlock the true strategic potential of your HR function, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
