A media industry client was struggling with assessing the current state of their workforce and anticipating future talent needs for the business. While some workforce metrics were available, it was not easy to garner actionable insights to make decisions.

Advised leaders on the roles, skills, and experience level most appropriate for their needs.Provided guidance on team structures and reporting relationships to ensure collaboration, accountability, and rapid decision making. Built and evaluated future organization scenarios to help leaders make the best talent decisions to future-proof the organization and position it for growth.
