Digital HR Leaders with David Green9 Sep 2025

How to Build the Next Generation of HR Leaders (an Interview with Dave Ulrich, Dick Beatty and Patrick Wright)

HR is standing at a defining inflection point. AI is transforming how work gets done, stakeholder capitalism is reshaping expectations, and the pressure to deliver tangible business value with less has never been higher.

So what does HR need to do now - not just to stay relevant, but to lead?

In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, host David Green sits down with three of the profession’s most respected thinkers to discuss this very topic: Dave Ulrich, Co-Founder of the RBL Group; Dick Beatty, Professor at Rutgers and the University of Michigan; and Patrick Wright, Chair in Strategic HR at the University of South Carolina.

In their conversation, you’ll learn:

Why HR is at a historic inflection point, and what makes this moment different

How AI is forcing a rethink of jobs, value creation, and organisational design

What it really means to move from HR activity to business impact

How HR can better serve external stakeholders like customers, investors, and communities

Why CHROs must lead from the outside in - or risk being left behind

How a new leadership development initiative, the Global HR Leadership Experience, is preparing future-ready HR leaders

If you’re rethinking the role of HR in your organisation, navigating transformation, or preparing your team for what’s next, this is a must-listen conversation packed with wisdom, challenge, and practical insight.
