# Turbulent Times Call for a New People Strategy

Boston Consulting Group (Aug 4, 2025) "Turbulent Times Call for a New People Strategy" by Aparna Bharadwaj, Julie Bedard, Frank Breitling and Alex Koster argues global business has entered an era of compounding, volatile forces — not seen since the 2008 financial crisis — and prescribes a talent strategy built on a triangle: rethinking how to hire talent superstars, adopting AI, and upskilling. The authors stress purpose-led alignment and a flexible talent base that can be reconfigured in real time, identifying skills valuable across multiple future scenarios. For SEA mid-market boards approving workforce plans against tariff and AI-displacement uncertainty, the triangle is a usable structuring frame.
