How AI Will Disrupt Continuous Workforce Planning

Reena, you obviously are very ensconced in the notion of workforce planning and specifically continuous workforce planning.

Can you tell us how that differs between or differs really from traditional workforce planning?

So Alex, I think we have to change the thought and some of the terminologies that we use.

The word traditional does not exist anymore.

Everything is breaking the norms, right? Whether it is our life, whether it is work, because the way we used to do things, that itself is changing, right? So when things are changing at the foundation level, We have to re-coin those words.

So we used to talk about lifelong learning.

We used to talk about traditional learning and all continuous.

Now I prefer to say it is an integral part of learning.

So it is becoming who we are.

So in terms of, if you think about...

Learning, you go to school, you come in, you pass the exams, then you go for work.

All those things are being challenged.

People are even talking about, do we even need to go to college? Do we even need to go to high school? What is the purpose? So there is a...

basic question that the fundamentals that we have built our life and work is being questioned.

So that's where I go back and say that word traditional doesn't make any sense anymore.

Of course, there are people who are doing as they are doing, but if we are not evolving and we are not adapting ourselves and not even adapting, we are not changing with the time, right? Then we are going to be left behind.

And people who are, And getting concerned that, am I moving fast enough? Am I being continuously learning? They have to forget that they are learning.

They have to just make sure that they're doing their job in a way that learning becomes part of it.

So that's why I would say that it is an integral part.

Like everything that we are doing in this podcast, I'm going to learn something from you.

We are going to learn from something from each other.

And that's what learning is.

And we have to think about learning as an effort.

If it becomes, you don't think about I'm brushing my teeth.

That's it.
