  • Transform Work with Kyle Forrest, Principal and Future of HR Leader at Deloitte
    Jan 20 2026

    In this episode of Transform Work, host John Winsor sits down with Kyle Forrest, Principal at Deloitte and Deloitte’s U.S. Future of HR Leader, for a wide-ranging conversation on how AI is reshaping work, talent, and organizational design inside large enterprises.

    Kyle shares what he’s hearing from CHROs and C-suite leaders as companies move from “AI pilots” to real production deployments, and why 2026 may become the year of measurable productivity gains. Together, John and Kyle explore how jobs are being unbundled into tasks and reassembled into new roles, projects, and workflows, including the rise of AI agents and what it means to manage “synthetic talent” alongside human teams.

    Key themes include:

    • The shift from one-time “change management” to continuous adaptation as AI capabilities evolve
    • A practical framework for role evolution: AI-assisted, AI-augmented, and AI-powered work
    • Why the real unlock is cross-functional: AI as a coordinating layer that breaks down silos and forces new operating models
    • Who “owns the agent” inside organizations, and why many companies are forming centralized AI councils across HR, IT, Legal, and the business
    • The overlooked force shaping the future of work: demographics, global labor supply shifts, and what that means for talent strategy

    If you’re a leader thinking about the future of HR, workforce transformation, or the operating model changes required to compete in an AI-enabled world, this conversation offers clear frameworks, grounded insights, and a candid look at what’s coming next.

    Listen now to hear why the future of work is not just about automation, but about redesigning how organizations run, how talent is deployed, and how humans stay empowered in the loop.

  • Transform Work with Sangeet Paul Choudary, Author - Reshuffle, Platform Revolution
    Jan 12 2026

    In this episode of Transform Work, John Winsor sits down with Sangeet Paul Choudary, one of the world’s leading thinkers on platforms, AI, and how work is being reorganized.

    Sangeet, co-author of Platform Revolution and author of Reshuffle, argues that the real impact of AI is not just faster or cheaper work, but a fundamental shift in how work is coordinated, how value is created, and where power lives inside organizations and industries.

    The conversation explores why jobs are dissolving into tasks, why skills are becoming harder to define, and how companies must rethink everything from talent strategy to professional services models in an AI-driven world. They discuss how platforms like Walmart, Uber, and Shutterstock reveal deeper patterns of power shift, and why organizations need new ways to measure the return on both human and machine work.

    For leaders, HR teams, and anyone trying to navigate the future of work, this episode offers a powerful framework for understanding how AI is reshaping not just what we do, but how we organize to do it.

    Jan 6 2026

    In this episode of Transform Work, John Winsor sits down with James Raybould, SVP at Turing, to explore what it really takes for organizations to move from talking about AI to actually benefiting from it.

    James shares how Turing works with the world’s leading AI labs to make models smarter, while also helping enterprises deploy AI in practical, high-impact ways. Drawing on his own hands-on experimentation, he talks about how AI is reshaping everyday workflows, creativity, and how work gets done inside modern organizations.

    Before joining Turing, James spent years at Bain and more than a decade at LinkedIn, where he worked across strategy, analytics, product marketing, and growth. Together, John and James discuss what leaders need to understand now as AI shifts from experimentation to real operational change.
