Uncertainty as an Opportunity: HR’s Role in Shaping the Future of Work (an Interview with Peter Hinssen)

What if the chaos around us isn’t a threat, but your organisation’s greatest advantage?

In this thought-provoking episode, futurist and innovation expert Peter Hinssen returns to the Digital HR Leaders podcast to join host David Green in an exploration of why uncertainty is no longer the exception but the new normal, and how HR can lead the way in turning disruption into momentum.

Based on insights from his new book The Uncertainty Principle, Peter challenges traditional thinking and shares a bold vision for how organisations - and their people leaders - can thrive in the “never-normal.”

What you’ll learn in this episode:

Why uncertainty is the new strategic advantage, and how to “weaponise” it

The biggest myth HR believes about change, and why it’s holding us back

AI’s promise vs. reality and why early adoption often falls short

How to unlock HR’s most underutilised asset: unstructured data

Real-world phoenixes - organisations rising stronger through disruption

The new HR mindset and how it’s redefining talent, leadership, and foresight
