Navigating the Evolving Marketplace and Designing the Organization of the Future
In the ever-changing landscape of business, HR leaders face the challenge of envisioning what the organization of the future will look like. To shed light on this topic, I invited Michael H. McInerney, President at Executive and Board Services Consulting Group, as a guest on episode 597.

As the business landscape continues to shift, organizations must remain agile and open to innovation. Listen as Mike and I dive into ways to better navigate a marketplace and workplace characterized by constant innovation. He addresses the pressing need for organizations to embrace change and adapt to the evolving business landscape. Michael’s insights offer valuable guidance to HR leaders seeking to design organizations that can thrive in the future.
In our conversation, Michael emphasizes some strategies and practices that brought us to this point may not be sufficient to carry us forward. HR leaders must, he says, challenge conventional thinking and explore new approaches to drive success!
The organization of the future, therefore, requires HR leaders who can anticipate and adapt to the ever-changing workplace. By embracing innovation and challenging traditional practices, HR leaders can lay the foundation for organizations that thrive in the future.
