    <description>Talent by Design brings the major talent topics of today — strategic change, leadership in the age of AI, and the leadership decisions inside PE-backed growth companies — into a format you can listen to. It draws on thirty years of BSG and Talent Sequencing research, experience, and thought leadership.

Talent by Design features AI-generated host voices (Hugh and Elle) presenting research, frameworks, and ideas from BSG and Talent Sequencing. The voices are synthetic; the thinking is not.

Once a month, Clark Waterfall hosts a live conversation with a real leader under the banner Leadership: Lessons Learned.</description>

In this first episode, Hugh and Elle walk through the established frameworks behind leading organizational transformation: the McKinsey 7S model and Nitin Nohria's management practices to diagnose what to change, William Bridges' transition model and the FranklinCovey change curve to understand the human side, John Kotter's eight stages and five common failure modes to execute it, and Kim Scott's Radical Candor and Stephen Covey's circles of influence for the day-to-day.
