2025 Priorities & Predictions Webinar
2025 is shaping up to be another fast-paced year, full of disruptions, challenges, and opportunities for HR and business leaders. Organizations that place the right bets—in the form of prioritization, investment, and time—will be well positioned to leapfrog the competition. Talent management, upskilling, culture, and the ability to operationalize AI will play crucial roles in separating high-performance organizations from the rest, complemented by massive external challenges including ongoing workforce divisiveness, global unrest, and economic concerns.
Each year, i4cp gathers priorities and predictions about the coming year from our executive boards, representing heads of HR, talent & learning, talent acquisition, DEI, total rewards, people analytics, and the future of work.
In this session, i4cp CEO Kevin Oakes and Chief Research Officer Kevin Martin focused on key themes from i4cp’s annual Priorities and Predictions report, which highlights the practices that differentiate high-performing organizations. If you missed the live session or want to dive deeper into the insights, we highly recommend downloading the full report for comprehensive data and actionable next steps.
Key Discussion Highlights
- AI in the Workplace: Only 11% of organizations have operationalized AI, yet those that do lead significantly in market performance. Workforce readiness and widespread AI training are critical to scaling its impact.
- Cultural Shifts for Skills Marketplaces: Companies embracing internal talent mobility are poised to succeed, but scaling skills marketplaces requires a culture of agility and collaboration.
