The workforce assumptions most HR operating models were built on no longer hold.

For decades, talent operating models were built for stable labor markets, predictable skill needs, and reliable global talent pipelines. Today, HR leaders face workforce shortages, rapid skill disruption, and growing pressure to deliver strategic impact with limited resources while many HR functions still operate in silos, limiting their ability to respond effectively.

On May 26, 2026, the Academy To Innovate HR is partnering with Lightcast, the leaders in Market Labor Intelligence return for a second live session exploring how major workforce shifts are exposing the limits of current HR operating models.

Together, we will explore:
✓ Why workforce planning assumptions are failing.
✓ How labor scarcity is reshaping talent access.
✓ What skill disruption means for L&D investments.
✓ Why retention is now a workforce supply issue.
✓ What prevents integrated talent decisions across HR.
