The story I want to focus on is the first in this edition of Mark Oehlert's newsletter and ends at the first 'Upgrade to Paid' notification (I mean, you can keep reading, but I am not commenting on any of that). He references a post three days ago from Daniel Käfer in LinkedIn three days ago asserting "Microsoft just eliminated its entire senior HR leadership in a single announcement." I would have chosen a different verb. But what's more interesting isn't the fate of senior leadership, its how the HR function itself has been reorganized. "The function is being rebuilt around four new pillars: skills intelligence, AI-enabled workforce planning, product-aligned people support, and culture." Now these might be seen as related to skills taxonomies (see the post on that today) but probably isn't, because "the pace of change is exceeding what our current operating model and decision rhythms were built for. We're no longer being asked to scale for stability; we need to scale for adaptability."
