HR on Offense: Leading the Enterprise Through AI with Kyle Forest S6 I Ep 2
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it mean for HR to go on the offense — and what happens if it doesn't?
In this episode of the Career Transitions Podcast, Vanessa Teo and Vanessa Iloste sit down with Kyle Forest, US Future of HR Leader at Deloitte Consulting, to explore one of the most consequential questions facing people professionals right now: not whether AI will reshape work, but whether HR will lead that reshaping or be swept along by it.
AI is accelerating task displacement. Demographics are squeezing talent supply. Volatility is rewriting strategy in real time. Kyle's argument: HR sits at the intersection of internal capability and external labour markets, uniquely positioned to lead — if it chooses to.
The conversation covers why AI pilots stall when people aren't brought along, a practical framework for mapping how roles will shift, and why this moment calls for behaviour readiness rather than change management.
Optimism with evidence behind it. That's the throughline.
What is the next step you are willing to take — and what would it take to take it today?
