How Workforce Readiness Becomes Mission Readiness” with Kathleen McCarthy, CHRO at SAIC

How can workforce readiness become mission readiness?

Why is a people strategy not the same thing as a business strategy?


My guest on this episode is Kathleen McCarthy, EVP and CHRO at SAIC. During our conversation Kathleen and I discuss the following:  

  • Why a people strategy is not a business strategy
  • Why "progress over perfection" beats waiting for the perfect plan
  • How CHROs are shifting from business partners to enterprise capability builders
  • Why workforce readiness is a moving target, not a fixed destination
  • Why you can't hire your way out of the readiness gap
