  • How Roblox Is Rethinking People, Systems and Workforce Strategy

    How Roblox Is Rethinking People, Systems and Workforce Strategy
    Oct 13 2026

    What changes when the people function is designed not as a collection of separate HR processes, but as part of the operating system of the company?


    In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Jack Buckley, Chief People and Systems Officer at Roblox, to explore how measurement, people analytics, technology and workforce strategy come together inside one of the world’s best-known technology companies.

    Jack’s career spans the US Navy, academia, applied statistics, large-scale assessment and game-based hiring before leading people and systems at Roblox. That background has shaped a clear philosophy: before organisations make better people decisions, they need to be confident they are measuring the right things, with data they can trust.


    Join them, as they discuss:


    • Why data quality and measurement should come before advanced analytics
    • Lessons from building a people science and analytics function during hypergrowth
    • Why People and Finance need a shared view of workforce data and planning
    • How the Roblox operating system brings people processes, technology and internal products together
    • When organisations should buy technology, customise it or build their own
    • How AI is reshaping recruiting, assessment, performance, retraining and workforce planning at Roblox
    • Why skills atrophy could become a significant challenge as employees rely more heavily on AI tools
    • How to balance rapid experimentation with rigorous evaluation and governance
    • Why measuring the work and skills people actually use is essential to redesigning work and creating business value

  • How to Build an AI-Enabled HR Operating Model

    How to Build an AI-Enabled HR Operating Model
    Sep 29 2026

    What if the thing slowing down AI in HR isn't the technology at all, but the way the function is set up to deliver it?


    Most HR organisations already have access to AI. The bigger challenge is whether the way HR is structured, governed and measured is ready to turn that technology into sustainable business value.


    In this episode of the Digital HR Leaders podcast, David Green is joined by Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer, principal analyst and co-founder of Brandon Hall Group, to explore new research identifying six structural moves for building an AI-enabled HR operating model.


    Join them, as they discuss:


    • Why the operating model can become the constraint on AI transformation, even when the technology is ready
    • What changes when HR manages recruiting, learning, employee experience and workforce planning as continuously evolving products rather than finite programmes
    • Why great people and well-designed processes need to come before technology, and the risks of automating processes that already need redesigning
    • How talent pods, workforce product teams and centres of excellence can combine business proximity with scalable solutions and enterprise standards
    • Why HR business partners need deeper business acumen and a stronger performance consulting mindset
    • Why governance works best when it is embedded into design and delivery, helping create the trust required for innovation
    • Why HR needs to strengthen capabilities in judgement, critical thinking, business acumen and data and analytics as work changes
    • How leaders can measure business, workforce, system and future impact rather than simply tracking implementation activity


    For CHROs and HR leaders rethinking how their function operates, this conversation provides a practical framework for creating an HR model that can continuously adapt, scale and deliver measurable value.
