Episode 22 - Anthony Ebelle-ebanda - Johnson & Johnson

Episode 22 of the SWP podcast welcomes Antony Ebelle-ebanda, Digital Surgery Integration Lead & Talent Insights at Johnson & Johnson to the Pod.  Antony is an experienced SWP leader who has worked across organisations including Johnson & Johnson, Allianz, Barclay’s and Deutsche bank (to name but a few). Fantastic chat with Antony which explored the potential homes of SWP within the org structure then highlighted the importance of not only considering SWP an enterprise capability but also the cultural understanding and acceptance of strategic workforce planning as ‘the way we work’.  The conversation touched on the potential shift from role-based organisations to skills-based organisations and we looked at whether we’d see a total shift to thinking purely in terms of ‘skills’ as opposed to ‘roles’ in the future.  Finally, the need to think and act differently to our competitors through strategic workforce planning was a fantastic way to wind up this highly engaging chat.
