The End of CoEs and the Rise of Total Talent
In this episode, Edan Haddock takes on one of HR’s most established models… the Centre of Excellence.
As technology accelerates and AI begins to take on more of the work traditionally owned by HR, Edan explores what this means for the structure of People functions. From the slow decline of HR Operations, to the identity crisis facing People Partnering, and the quiet disappearance of standalone OD… nothing is off limits.
The big question: if those pillars start to fall, what rises in their place?
Edan makes the case for Talent stepping into the spotlight… not just as hiring, but as the core operating system for workforce strategy, experience, and capability.
This isn’t about HR being broken.
It’s about whether it evolves… or gets left behind.
