In putting this podcast together, we had a whole range of fascinating conversations, not all of which fitted into the standard format for this series, where each episode is focused on a particular skill. One of those conversations was with Korn Ferry, the global consulting firm.
Korn Ferry works with companies and leaders to help them put in place the optimal structures, roles, and responsibilities, hire the right people to fill those roles, and advises them on how to reward and motivate their workforce. So as you can imagine, it’s a company that has a huge amount of interest in, and expertise on, the subject of this podcast: how to future-proof your career. And they've kindly agreed to sponsor this special episode as well.
Joining us from Korn Ferry for this episode to share their expertise are Ben Frost, who works with the company’s clients on issues like pay and talent management, and Sue Simonett, who leads the company’s technology practice.
Listen in to find out what these two experts think about:
- What is driving the current skills crunch?
- How employers might respond
- The impact of AI and automation on the present and future of work
- Changing expectations for employers and employees
- What Ben and Sue think of our Three Cs - Curation, Creation, Communication
- How to maximise your future career opportunities
Future-Proof Your Career
Welcome to Future-proof Your Career, your guide to the most important skills for a long, successful working life. This is a special season of the Talk About Tomorrow podcast, exploring in depth the idea of the Three Cs, three skill groups that are critical to success, in a business or as an entrepreneur. The ability to curate information, create new things, and communicate ideas. In each episode we explore a facet of one of these skills, alongside a guest.
My name is Tom Cheesewright, I’m an applied futurist advising organisations around the globe on how to see and prepare for the future. Alongside me is my co-host Katharine McNamara, communications expert extraordinaire.
