Data-Driven Workforce Planning and Org Design with Rupert Morrison, CEO at OrgVue

Digital HR Leaders with David Green

Our guest this week is Rupert Morrison. A native New Zealander and rugby fanatic who grew up on a sheep farm, but off the field, Rupert is leading the way in data-driven organisational planning as CEO of OrgVue. It was in Rupert's years as a management consultant, frustrated by the many tedious hours spent building models in PowerPoint and Excel that were unsustainable for his clients that drove him to build his own solution in OrgVue, a SaaS platform for workforce analytics and modelling.

So impassioned. He's also authored a Chartered Management Institute, shortlisted book of the year on data driven organisation design.

We'll spend much of today's episode in conversation about the following topics:

• How HR needs a serious step change in order to manage the business and not just Human Resources in times of change
  
• We look at why finance is often stepping in on workforce planning and how HR must partner with them
  
• We look at the role analytics plays in shaping the future workforce
  
• As with all our guests on the podcast, we also look into the crystal ball and ponder what the role of HR will be in 2025
  

This episode is a must listen for any HR professional who wants new ideas, wants to add value to their organisation, and wants a voice at the board level, not just lip service. I'm sure listeners will enjoy Rupert's thinking on some of the most pivotal and challenging issues that HR isn't addressing.
