Episode notes
One-Day Strategy Sessions Are Vulnerable
- Strategic talent planning as a one-day event is at risk from always-on AI-driven strategy tools.
- Real-time ingestion of financials, org charts, and KPIs lets companies plan continuously instead of annually.
Use Stepwise Interviewing With AI
- Have the AI interview leaders with one question at a time to surface deeper context before giving recommendations.
- Limit to up to three focused questions to avoid noise and extract high-value input.
Human Trust Is Nonreplaceable
- The highest-value part of HireBetter's sessions is creating a safe space for hard conversations and external perspective.
- That human trust and emotional support cannot be fully replicated by AI alone.
