The working title could be: „Stop Shaming Strategy: Why 80% of HR Transformations Actually Fail.“

10:00 Uhr - 11:00 | 18.06.2026 - Podcast Lounge - TALENTpro Expofestival 17. & 18. Juni 2026

Time to stop the endless buzzwords about „strategic HR“! The reality in HR departments paints a different picture: despite million-dollar investments and agile restructurings, data shows that up to 80% of all HR transformations fail. Is it a lack of courage, a lack of time, or simply the wrong approach?

In this podcast, you will learn to radically debunk common myths. Based on hard facts from 70,000 data points across nearly 2,000 companies, we reveal why „blanket upskilling“ for AI fails and why the push for „more strategy“ often misses the actual business needs. Tune in to discover how modern skill management and data-driven operating models truly make HR teams future-proof—with pragmatic takeaways that medium-sized companies can implement right away.
