Kirjoittanut Henley | 4.4.2025 8:21:43

As AI reshapes how we work, one thing is clear: talent management is more strategic than ever. Organisations are moving fast to adopt new technologies, but without a clear plan for and understanding of future capability and skills development, even the best tech investments can fall short.

In this webinar, Professor Nick Kemsley, Director, Henley Centre for HR & Organisational Capability, will explore how to lead talent strategy in the era of Industry 5.0, where capabilities and new skills are the currency and humans are key in unlocking AI’s value. Teija Saari, VP, HR and Internal Communications at Wärtsilä will also share how Wärtsilä has developed their strategic capabilities in this era.

In this webinar we’ll cover:

How to ensure that your organisation adopts a long-term perspective for capabilities and talent development while remaining agile enough to respond to fast changes in the business environment?
What are the critical elements in developing organisations' strategic capabilities and talent management?
The three-dimensional people strategy approach and its implications to capability and talent development
How to manage talent development as an investment and cost?

Talent management is no longer merely an HR function - it’s a shared strategic responsibility. Join us to discover how to future-proof your workforce and make talent your competitive edge in a technology and change-driven world.

The conversation will be hosted by Saara Karhula, Business Director, Corporate Solutions at Henley Nordic & Paula Kilpinen, Managing Director at Henley Nordic, who will bring your most pressing questions on this topic to our experts.
