Leadership hires and promotions have always been high-stakes calls, and they are getting harder to get right. Nearly half of the 300 HR decision makers we surveyed said as many as 2 in 10 recent leadership appointments were mis-hires or missed promotions. And 92% have seen senior leaders bypass formal processes to make those calls.
At the same time, AI is reshaping roles faster than most organizations can plan for. Only 1 in 5 HR leaders is confident their leaders can lead through change, and just 37% feel prepared for a blended human and AI workforce.
In this on-demand session, Chief Commercial Officer Hannah Mullaney and Client Solutions Director Olivia Black look at why leadership decisions are getting riskier, what it costs when they go wrong, and whether HR has the data to get them right. They also share how Virgin Media O2 used behavioral assessment data to make fast, high-stakes mobility decisions for 100 leaders, saving around 24 hours of interview prep along the way.
Plus, Hannah shares what happened when one leadership team saw their own data through a risk lens for the first time.
