UNLEASH Special - Sam Fletcher from Coca-Cola HBC about the Fiction of Annual Talent Planning - ENG

"If you rely on annual talent planning cycles today, you are
already behind."


A tough reality check for HR and L&D: The shelf-life of
skills is shrinking rapidly, and old job descriptions won't cut
it in the age of AI. That is exactly what we discuss in this
episode of GOOD MORNING L&D.





My Guest:


Sam Fletcher, Head of Research & Talent Intelligence at
Coca-Cola HBC


Sam combines a rare perspective: He brings high-speed data
analytics from the Fintech sector (formerly PayPal) into the
operational complexity of a global logistics giant.





We talk about:


– Why "Talent Intelligence" is more than just a buzzword and how
it actually solves the "Buy vs. Build" dilemma


– How to identify internal talent that is "80% ready" for
critical roles (using the Data Scientist example)


– The "Consultant Hack": Why external consulting budgets are the
best indicator of real skill gaps in your business


– Talent Intelligence at PayPal vs. Coca-Cola HBC: What to do
when the data is scarce (e.g., in manufacturing)?


– Why we need to tear up our old planning playbooks and look 6 to
12 months ahead instead


– Radical honesty: Why we must use data to show employees
pathways out of the company as well
