| 6/24/26 | ![]() Podcast 231: The journey towards a skills-based organisation | For decades, jobs have helped organisations structure work, allocate responsibilities and make decisions about people. But as business priorities shift, skills shortages intensify and technology changes the nature of work, organisations need a clearer view of the skills and capabilities they have — and how to deploy them where they can create the greatest impact. Join Nigel Cassidy and this month’s guests – Simone Carroll, CHRO and Director; Stephen Findlay, Head of Organisational Development at Skills Development Scotland; and Alex Boulting, Global OD & HR Transformation Leader at Ebbnflow – as they explore what it means to become a skills-based organisation. In this episode, our panel explores: •What it means to become a skills-based organisation, and how skills can complement rather than replace traditional job and role structures •How people professionals can identify current and future skills needs, connect skills to business impact, and rethink recruitment, workforce planning, performance and development •Why skills-based transformation is not just an HR project, but a people strategy requiring co-creation, trust, cultural change and the right use of skills data and technology ---Your next listen:CIPD Podcast 207: HR’s next top operating modelHR People Pod – Episode 48: Leadership reflections | Skills visibility | Workload creepMore from this episode:Guide – Skills matching: Using and deploying people’s skills effectively in the workplaceAnalysis – How L&D can create value: Focussing on skills development Hosted on Acast.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() HR People Pod – Ep 51: Agentic AI | Entry-level careers | Defining moments in HR | As agentic AI moves beyond being a tool and starts to act with greater autonomy, how should organisations think about trust, oversight and accountability? If entry-level roles are changing — or even shrinking — what does that mean for young people trying to take their first step into work, and for employers hoping to build future capability? And which pivotal career moments can change how HR professionals think about their work, their leadership and their impact?CIPD Director of Profession David D’Souza, is joined by Jo Carlin, Chief People Officer at Effective Energy Group, and Andy Stephenson, Director at Dove Nest Group.
