Want to know what I think? Where I stand on key issues in this space? You've come to the right place.
There are a lot of opinions out there about SWP. I share some of them and have others that not everyone agrees with.
This much I will say: I am passionate about SWP and about what it means to me.
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
SWP is a business issue
Stop thinking that SWP is some HR thing. When you're spending between 60% and 75% of your money on people, they and their future value should be the most important thiing on your mind.
- Oscar Wilde
SWP applies to all worker types
Employees are just one category of worker. Temporary staff, third party staff, gig workers and now AI agents are all part of your workforce and total cost of labour. So plan for them all.
SWP is all about business risk
If your business success depends on key capabilities in your organisation, Isn't it time that you knew if you can rely on them to be there when you need them? If not, how much trouble are you in?
SWP isn't easy
SWP is a lesson in collaboration and change management. If you don't have all the tools and techniques in place, how can you be sure that you can make it work in your business?
