THE EXECUTIVE EDGE
INTRODUCING: THE EXECUTIVE EDGE
The challenge facing CEOs and their executive teams in today’s world of work has never been more complex.
Faced with instability, uncertainty and volatility in equal measure, organisations must enhance growth and performance, promote innovation and position themselves to effectively attract, retain and develop talent.
To help organisations navigate these business-critical challenges, we’re launching ‘The Executive Edge’. This content - created by senior leaders, for senior leaders - unlocks the insights, mindsets and expertise of those at the cutting edge of workforce transformation.
EPISODE 1: NAVIGATING THE FUTURE OF WORK
To kickstart the conversation, Nigel Kirkham (CEO of Enterprise Solutions) is joined by David Spence (Global Head of Growth, Enterprise Solutions) and Ruth Munday (Global Head of Client Development, Enterprise Solutions) to dig deeper into the contemporary challenges facing our clients.
THE WORLD OF WORK, AT A GLANCE
As organisations question their long-term viability and thousands of CEO’s put growth at the top of their agenda, we need to turn the dial on strategies that will help us prepare for tomorrow’s challenges.
From shifts in attitudes to why and how work is done, to the impact of technology in reshaping skills needs and the desire to both optimise and control costs, senior decision-makers face a complex ‘to-do’ list.
WINNING THE WAR FOR TALENT
The right mix of skills, accessed at the right time and at the right cost, is a complex puzzle that companies continue to piece together. As cost pressures challenge the ‘talent at any cost’ mentality, forward-thinking organisations will seize the opportunity to reshape who and how work gets done.
From implementing high-value upskilling initiatives to hone the talent you already have, to broadening the scope of your location strategy, how can you strengthen their people strategy?
TRANSFORMING TALENT MANAGEMENT WITH TECHNOLOGY
‘Disruptive’ technologies are reshaping the world of work. From the skills needed to the types of jobs that will be available in as little as 12 months, there is little doubt amongst CEOs and their teams that technology will have a profound – and lasting – impact on their talent strategy.
But authenticity and trust remain key components in the management of talent. How can organisations balance their desires for efficiency with a shared need for the ‘human touch’?
BUILDING A BETTER WORKFORCE
Growing economic uncertainty and geopolitical instabilities are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the macroeconomic ‘shocks’ facing CEOs and their teams.
Organisations need to shape a workforce strategy that can deal with adversity, withstand shock and adapt fast to changing circumstances.
Are you building resilient teams that can withstand – and even thrive – amid such instability?

Our latest video covers a huge array of challenges including skills shortages, disruptive technologies, evolving workforce needs, demographic shifts, productivity concerns and the rise of resilient teams.
