How to Build a Future-Ready Talent Strategy in 2026


Listen Later

In this episode of our On The Road series, we sit down with Laura Mattimore and Lucia Suarez from Procter & Gamble to explore how one of the world’s most iconic companies is redesigning talent for the AI era.

Laura leads global talent across P&G’s enterprise talent systems, including hiring, learning, leadership development, workforce planning, and talent strategy. Lucia leads talent development, talent management, analytics, insights, employee experience, and transformation within that broader talent agenda.

Their message is clear: AI is not just a technology shift. It is a work, culture, skills, and employee experience shift. For P&G, the opportunity is not to replace the human, but to build around human plus AI, with HR playing a central role in redesigning how work gets done.


🎓 In this episode, we get into:

  1. How P&G is redesigning talent strategy around human plus AI
  2. Why HR must become the architect of future jobs and work design
  3. Why frontline plant technicians must be designed for from the beginning
  4. How P&G is building its own talent hub to support a build-from-within culture
  5. How AI can personalize upskilling, career paths, and employee experience at scale
